Lord, we come before you this morning in earnest humility, asking
for a blessing on the child that you have given into our care. May you give Farrah a heart that is satisfied
always by your steadfast love (PS 90:14) and that you would be glorified by the
joy that she finds in who you are. Give her the strength to live a life of
self-sacrificing love because it is only with your Spirit that she can
accomplish this. Bless her with the
wisdom not to look left or look right, but instead straight ahead towards her
own unique relationship with you God.
May she always make her identity in you Lord and not in this
world.
We know that you desire for us to raise a God-following adult, but
we need your help. Please guide us so
that we can model your love every day in every way. Give us the strength to be faithful that you
are caring for this child and to realize the truth that we have no power to keep
her physically safe or emotionally healthy.
Please equip us for this task you’ve set before
us.
Farrah,
may
your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have
the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how
high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of
Christ….Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes
from God" (Ephesians 3:17-19).
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
By the way.... did you know that no where in the Bible is a parent's prayer unanswered!
