“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. . . 9the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment.” II Peter 2: 1, 9 (NASB)

A Prayer Over Our Children

Oh Lord, protect my daughter from heresies and false teachings. I pray that You will keep her faithful to Your truths and grant her discernment. Oh God, have mercy upon her and spare her, condemning her not, but protecting and rescuing her from trials. Shield her from corrupt and blaspheming men, dear Lord, that she may be kept from sinful desires of the flesh. I plead that You will guard her against the seduction of the world and that You will keep her on the straight and narrow path. Open her eyes, oh God, so that she may not be enticed by the lustful desires of men. Instead, make man’s depravity and corrupted ways detestable to her. How I pray that she will never turn her back against You or Your sacred commandments. Rather, may You strengthen her to flee temptation and to walk the path of righteousness, oh God, so that she will never stray and follow You all the days of her life. ...

“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. ...

“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. ...

“Your adornment must not be merely external – braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.” ~ I Peter 3:3-4 (NASB)

A Prayer Over Our Children

I pray my daughter will submit to her husband and be an example of Christ through her words, behavior, thoughts, and actions. May You manifest all purity and reverence in her life, oh God, making her inner self the source of her beauty. Help her gentle and quiet spirit be her adornment rather than fashionable hair, clothes, or jewelry. Oh Lord, I pray that You will bless my daughter with a beautiful relationship of trust, submission, and respect to her husband. Likewise, may her husband treat her with all love, consideration, mutual respect, and as a precious heir to Your gift of life. Oh God, be her joy and her strength that she may never give into fear and do what is right all the days of her life. ...
