Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with humble hearts, giving thanks for the precious gifts of our daughters. We ask that You would guide and protect them, giving them wisdom and discernment as they navigate through life. We pray that they would come to know and understand Your love for them and that they would grow in their relationship with You.
We ask that You would bless them with good health, strong relationships, and fulfilling careers. We ask that You would give them a heart for serving others and that they would be a light in this world, shining Your love and truth to all those around them.
We pray that they would find their identity in You and that they would be rooted and grounded in Your love. We ask that You would give them the courage to stand firm in their faith and to boldly proclaim Your truth in a world that often rejects it.
We pray that You would give them a love for Your Word and that they would be transformed by the renewing of their minds. We pray that You would use them in powerful ways to bring others to know You and to experience Your love and grace.
We pray that You would be their stronghold in times of trouble and that they would trust in You and lean on You always. We pray that they would experience the fullness of joy and peace that comes from walking in obedience to You.
We pray all this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
