Prayer Prompt #19: Praying Scripture for Your Children - Psalm 71

I don’t have anything to add to this -- the Word of God is enough!

O Lord, you alone are my hope.
   I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
   from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.
   No wonder I am always praising you!
My life is an example to many,
   because you have been my strength and protection.
That is why I can never stop praising you;
   I declare your glory all day long.
O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood,
   and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do.
Psalm 71:5-8, 17 NLT

Oh LORD, this is my prayer for my children! May they trust You from their youth, may they grow up knowing and experiencing Your loving kindness, Your tender mercies, Your powerful faithfulness. May they know it so fully that it drives them to constant praise, that they cannot help but speak of Your glorious testimonies! Make them witnesses of who You are, lights shining in a dark generation, that will draw others into Your family. In Jesus’ name, amen.
