A Prayer for My Daughter When the World Becomes Too Loud

Dear Daughter,

I pray the world never gets so loud that
you can no longer find God’s voice.

My prayer is never that you win every race;
but rather, you turn to Him to be your
hands and feet.

My prayer is never that you will be popular;
but rather, that you will stand in integrity,
even if it means standing alone.

My prayer is never that you are the “top” of your class; but rather, that you show class, kindness and compassion with every step forward.

My prayer is never that you build your confidence through the opinions of others; but rather, that you establish your worth in the unwavering truth of His Word.

My prayer is never that you conform to who
and what the world tells you to be; but rather,
that you stay true to Who God handcrafted you to be.

And when the world becomes too loud?
And when Satan begins to fervently shout?
And when you aren’t sure you can hear
your Father anymore?
