Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up a precious soul, a 16-year-old daughter who is embarking on a profound journey of faith and discovery with You. Lord, we pray for Your wisdom, guidance, and love to envelop her as she navigates through the complexities of this world. May she see the world through Your eyes, recognizing both its beauty and its brokenness, and may her heart be drawn ever closer to You, Jesus, in a deep and abiding love.
We ask, O God, for protection against any evil forces that seek to hinder her walk with You. Just as You promised in 2 Thessalonians 3:3, "But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one," we trust in Your unwavering protection over her life. May she be equipped with the full armor of God, standing firm against the schemes of the enemy, as outlined in Ephesians 6:10-18.
Instill in her a hunger for Your Word, Lord, that she might crave the Scriptures as her daily bread. May Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path," become a reality in her life, guiding her in every decision and illuminating her path in Your truth.
We also pray for her growth into a woman of God, embodying the virtues of Proverbs 31. Grant her strength, dignity, wisdom, and kindness, that she may fear the Lord and gain the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
In every step of her journey, may she experience the profound peace and joy that comes from walking closely with You, growing in her faith and understanding of who You are and who You've called her to be.
We thank You, Father, for Your love and mercy that covers her life. We commit her into Your hands, trusting in Your plans and purposes for her future. In Jesus’ name, we pray,
Amen.
