Prayers Of a Wise Parent

Keeper of your people.

It is better to take refuge in You than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in You than to trust in princes. Therefore cause my dear children to take refuge in You alone. Be their strength and their song; be their great salvation.

Let them lift up the cup of salvation and call on your Name open to them the gates of righteousness, than they may enter through them and give thanks to you. Raise their eyes to the hills to see from where their help comes.

For their help comes from You, who made heaven and earth. Do not let their feet be moved; keep them and do not slumber. Please keep them and neither slumber not sleep. Keep them from all evil; keep their lives. Keep their going out and their coming in from this time forth and forever.

My children, do you know who keeps you? The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the by night.

Lord Jesus, keep my children. We wait eagerly for your appearing. Hasten the wonderful day of your return — the wedding supper of the Lamb. Amen ( Psalm 118, 116, 121).
