Prayer of a King…reworded by a Mother

January 19, 2016 By Michelle

repost from 2010, a reworded prayer of a king, by a mother, once again.

newly leafed trees

May my
my teaching and guidance be refreshing like the spring rain on newly leafed trees,
like the showers that fill the dry wells. 
May the gifts of the Lord,
these children,
flourish during their growing up under my teaching
and launching away.
Marme’s paraphrase from Psalm 72:6-7

    I'm not a mother, but I'm trying to build up a team that will do great things. What an awesome prayer that I offer them something worthy of being compared to spring rain on newly leafed trees!
