Praying For Our Daughters

- May my daughters know you intimately, Father.  May you gift them with saving faith.

- If it be your will, may they be fertile, experiencing all the joys of motherhood.

- May they both marry strong Christian men, born into strong Christian families, who will remain faithful, leading in love. 

- May they cherish their children, giving thanks for them daily, loving them well.

- May they respect and honor their husbands, extending grace and mercy daily.

- May they make you their first love, find joy in prayer with your Spirit, making it a life-long habit, blessing the Body of Christ through intercession.

- May they put others above themselves, find purpose in serving, in obedience to you.

- May they remain sexually pure in obedience to you, in defiance of culture. (95% of Americans engage in pre-marital sex.  Start praying now!).  May their marriage beds be kept pure.  May only godly media be brought into their lives.

- May they find joy in your simple gifts, not be given to materialism--good stewards of all you give, generous in heart.

- May they enjoy life-long friendships with their siblings, providing and receiving unconditional love, grace, guidance.

- May they open their homes freely, be hospitable, keep perfectionism in check, seek your glory and not their own.

- May they have compassionate hearts, come alongside the hurting with a hug, a kind word, and faithful prayers.

My poor dear still has awful allergy shiners--today especially.  Worst allergy season in ten years, her doctor tells me.

-If it be your will, Father, may they never lose a child, and may all their children come to faith young.

- May they be loyal friends, not given to gossip, building up the Body in love.

- May they choose friendships with godly wisdom, guarding their own hearts from corruption.

- May they mother with grace and purpose, in your strength and not their own, carefully guarding their children's hearts, raising them to live for you.
