Reading: Psalm 102:23-28

Heavenly Father,
I want to live in your presence now
and in eternity.
Establish my children before you.
They are gifts from your hand.
You are the great constant
and I want to live
in constant praise of you,
my Savior.
Amen.

— — —

Blessed are all who fear the LORD,
    who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labor;
    blessings and prosperity will be yours.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.
Yes, this will be the blessing
    for the man who fears the LORD.
May the LORD bless you from Zion;
    may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life.
May you live to see your children’s children—
    peace be on Israel.
(Psalm 128 NIV)*
