Psalm 144

v. 12 Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

Lord Jesus, bless our children.  Draw them close to you.  Guard their hearts, minds and spirits.  Plant peace in their souls, show them how great is your love.  Amen.

Psalm 143

v. 10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

My God and Father, please do teach me to do your will.  Lead me on level ground.  Empty me of selfish desires.  Empty my heart of sin.  Show me the ugliness of my sin.  Show me and lead me on a better path.  Lead me on the best path.  Lead me to you.  Bring me into your presence.  There is so much hurt in the lives of those I love.  Bring your healing hand.  Save us, have mercy on us.  We need you so desperately.  Amen.
