Prayer for my Daughter

I have found such power in prayer over the last couple years, so much so that I have not a single doubt remaining that God hears us, and loves us, and wants the best for us. Experiencing all that I have, and knowing all that we are up against, I have been compelled to pray daily and unceasingly with a purpose for my daughter's life, future and well being. I am so grateful and honored to know that so many others have been praying for us too and have seen those prayers at work. Tonight I reread a passage in Scripture where Paul was praying for the church in Colosse. In it is everything that I could ever want for my child or anyone I loved, so I adapted it to pray over her directly. I hope that you all will help to pray this prayer with me and pray it over your own children and loved ones in your life as well.

"Oh Lord, we pray unceasingly for my precious little child, 
that she may be filled with the knowledge of Your will 
in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 
so as to walk in a manner worthy of You Lord,
 fully pleasing to you, 
bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 
May she be strengthened with all power, 
according to Your glorious might, 
for all endurance and patience with joy, 
giving thanks to the Father who has qualified her to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 
For He has delivered us from the domain of darkness 
and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son."   

~adapted from Colossians 1:9-13~


Peace be with you,
