Dear Father,
There will be times when these children will be afflicted emotionally and physically as they pass through this life. The truth of this Psalm is that the solution to healing in the midst of our affliction is to praise you from the depths of our souls. Even when things look hopeless, praise is the balm of our healing. Even as the final affliction takes us from this life to your presence, praise paves our path.
I pray that these children grow to understand the power in praise of you. The connection to you, the source of ultimate healing, that praise forges. When they are tempted to withdraw within their affliction, spur their hearts with your Spirit to bring them to full bodied praise of all that you are. And by that, show them your presence and your power.
Amen
