A Prayer for My Daughter
A parent's blessing over a daughter — worth, wisdom, and a heart secure in God.
This prayer is a blessing to speak over your daughter — at any age. Pray it over the cot, or send it in a message to a grown woman far away.
The prayer
Father, thank you for my daughter — for her laugh, her mind, her tender and stubborn heart. She is a gift I did nothing to deserve.
Let her know her worth is settled by you, not by mirrors or by anyone's approval. Clothe her with strength and honour, and let her laugh without fear at the days to come.
Give her wisdom in her friendships and courage to be kind when it costs her. Protect her body and her heart, and keep far from her those who would use either.
Most of all, let her love you and be sure she is loved by you. Be her refuge and her father where I fall short. Bless my daughter, and keep her. Amen.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
Strength and honour are her clothing — a beautiful prayer to pray over a daughter, and to help her believe about herself.
