Ps 72:18-20
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious name forever; and may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

There is no one who does wonders like the God of Israel. He alone is the miracle working God and He does it all in righteousness. His name is to be blessed forever and the whole earth is to be filled with His glory. I just need to be sure I am doing this and try to influence others to do this as well. This truth is not easy to grasp but it is so vital for everyone to see in the life of someone. I am grateful to the one's who lived this kind of life before me.

This prayer of David is all for his son, Solomon. God heard David's prayer and gave his son a heart to serve the Lord like his father David. It is so important to pray for our children and grandchildren. God will listen and He will do even more than what we ask. God has promised to do this in many places in the bible. (ie Eph:3:20)

Lord, thank you for the prayers of my wife for our children and grandchildren. I have prayed as well but not as consistently as she. Lord, help me to pray more diligently for our children and grandchildren but also for our children in the faith who will be parents of children and children in the faith. Lord, what a privilege to be Your servant to help build Your eternal Kingdom.
