Day Twenty-Three: That she would delight in who God has called her to be
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled,pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands,that the word of God may not be reviled. Titus 2:3-5
As parents we must have godly dreams for our daughters; this will alleviate undue pressures. God’s plan for our daughters is beautiful and suited to how he created them. Let us pray today that her parents would celebrate who God has created her to be. Furthermore, let’s pray that she will surround herself with godly women to help her delight in His call on her life.
Thank you, God, for your tender care of our daughter and for the “divine poetry” that took place when you knit her together in the womb. Lord, give us the strength to model unhindered and unashamed joy in your will for us and in who you’ve created us to be. We pray that you would surround our daughter with many other women that will teach and BE Titus 2 for her. Give us open hands and enough faith in You to encourage our daughter to embrace your call on their lives with joy.
