Daddy’s Prayer for His Little Girl

Daddy’s Prayer for His Little Girl

Lord, thank you for my little girl
She is to me a delightfully precious little pearl

Her joyful smile illuminates even a dreary room
Just like sunshine, that chases away gloom

Her bright and breezy banter buoys my heart
So young, yet so perceptive, full of life, loving and smart

May she always perceive that beauty that fades is a lie
And consider and crave the unfading inner beauty from on high

May she be a difference maker who serves well and wisely her generation
A virtuous woman who empowers others by being an inspiration

Keep her from silver-tongued devils, bad boys, and mean men
That her beloved heart be not broken time and again

Let her not be a heartbreaker in any measure
May she appreciate the goodness in others and all life, treasure

May our family be for her, Godly exemplars
May our home prosper in joy and love enough to fill her memoirs

Let Your Spirit and truth be her guide
May Your will be the place where she desires ever to reside

In difficulty may she trust and render thanks and praise unto You
In serenity may she tender sincere steadfast devotion in serving You

I pray that she would love You with her whole essence
I pray that her greatest longing whether in life or death is to be in Your holy presence

Hear, O’ Lord my prayer for my little girl
Your grace upon her, please perpetually unfurl

The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure it is to have wise children.
(Proverbs 23:24 New Living Translation)
