“Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” II Peter 1: 5 – 8 (NASB)

A Prayer Over Our Children

Dear Lord, let my daughter possess faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, and perseverance with increasing measure. Likewise, let her grow with godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Clothe her in these qualities so that she will be made effective and productive in her knowledge of You. Cleanse her from her sin, oh God, and make her calling sure. May she never fall and may You richly welcome her into Your kingdom. Remind her of these truths, oh God, and firmly establish her in them. Oh Lord, let Your light shine through the darkness like the dawn. Be like the morning star to her, rising high to light her path and illuminate her heart. Carry her, Holy Spirit, and reside in her that You may commune with her and speak through her words to others. ...

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast.” I Peter 5:10 (NIV)

A Prayer Over Our Children

Oh Lord, give my child a heart eager to serve others that You may crown her with unfading glory. May she respect and submit to those older and mature in the faith as You clothe her with humility. Lift her up, oh God, and grant her Your grace. Make known Your deep love and care for her that she may cast all her anxieties and burdens upon You. Oh Lord, cause her to be self-controlled and alert that she may resist the enemy. Help her stand firm in the faith, I pray, and restore her. Make her strong, firm, and steadfast in You, calling her to eternal glory with Christ. Oh God, I plead that You will bless her with faithful brothers and sisters in Christ who will encourage each other to testify and stand fast in Your truth. Fill her with Your peace, oh Lord, and surround her with Your love. ...

“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8 (NASB)

Arm my daughter with the desire to do the Will of the Father. Give her a clear mind and self-control so that she may pray and seek You. Above all else, may she love deeply, serving others with all grace and joy. Oh God, use what You have given her to minister and bless others through the opening of both her heart and home. Strengthen her, I pray, to serve and speak Your words that others may come to know you and be blessed. When she is insulted, I pray her joy amid sufferings and for Your Spirit of glory to rest upon her. Even in her distress, may You fill her mouth with praise that she may commit herself to You and continue to do good. ...

Likewise, may her husband treat her with all love, consideration, mutual respect, and as a precious heir to Your gift of life.

How I plead that her sacrifices of worship will be pleasing and acceptable to You, oh God. ...
