“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. ...

“. . . but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;” ~1 Peter 3:15 NASB

Prayer Over Our Children

May my little one live in harmony with all people. Mold her to be sympathetic, loving, humble, and compassionate. Bless my daughter, oh God, when she repays those who sin against her with blessings of her own. Give her a love of life and let her see long days. I pray You will keep her tongue from evil and her mouth from deceit. Likewise, may You help her turn away from evil to do what is good and pleasing unto You. Make her a seeker of peace that she may pursue it with all righteousness all the days of her life. ...

“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. ...

“And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:4-5 (NASB)

Father God, may malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander hold no foothold in my child’s life.

Like living stones, choose her, find her precious, and build her up as a spiritual house to be a royal priesthood. How I plead that her sacrifices of worship will be pleasing and acceptable to You, oh God. ...

Let my daughter ask and seek after You with pure motives. Oh God, may she find favor before You and likewise, her requests. Grant her a humble heart and bless her richly with Your grace.

“…faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” ~James 2:17, NIV

Prayer Over Our Children

May my daughter love her neighbor as herself, judging not nor casting favoritism. I pray that she will speak and live out Your Word so that she may know true freedom in Christ. Grant her mercy, oh Lord, and may she likewise show mercy to others. Give her faith feet, oh God, so that both faith and action may work in her life and through her to touch the lives of others.
