As i write this prayer i am reminded of the awesome honour of being a
father. God granted me the previlege of raising Zinzile Nicole Mpofu, i
understand that with the previlege comes great responsibility and
hardwork.
Dear God
God i present my darling girl before your throne. Heart still so pure. Lord keep her innocence firmly intact.
Lord the world is a dangerous place in so many ways, I pray for physical, mental and spriritual protection.
Protect her from others and wrong choices and call her to higher standards.
I ask for wisdom and discernment in teaching and preparing her for a life of purity and modesty.
I surrender my desire to control her, I surrender my desire to
manipulate her future, I am totally open, dependent and desperate for
you to be in control as i let go.
* Let her learn early in life that to obey you, God, is the best way to the life her heart truly desires. [1 Samuel 15:22]
* May she find comfort in your ability, God, to reach her, hold her and rescue her. [2 Samuel 22:17-18]
* Let her find confidence in you, God, even when hard times come and
she doesnt know what to do, by keeping her eyes faced on you. [2
Chronicles 20:12]
* May she keep herself under control and not give full vent to people and situations that anger her. [Proverbs 29:11]
* Let her walk in the security of your assigned worth to her. Give
her a strong work ethic and health to accomplish all tasks. Give her a
heart that desires to extend her hand to those in need. Protect her for
the right husband, a man of respect and Godly, honouring. Let her be a
woman of joy and laughter, whose Christ centered character is what makes
her most beautiful.
I pray that she may rise up over all pressures of life, walk in your
unique calling to make history and challenge convention and
expectation.
I also pray that she knows the fullness of your grace and the
freedom of your forgiveness and that your mercies are new every morning.
I wait in expectation for your providence.
In Jesus Christ's name i pray. Amen.
