Prophetic Prayer: Prayer For My Daughter

Originally Published on YouTube on December 23, 2019

Lord Jesus,

I praise you and thank you for the gift of my daughter. I am so grateful that you saw me fit to be the one to raise her, and my heart burst with joy at her first breath. She is graceful and charming, silly and special, and has me completely wrapped around her finger. There is such a tender relationship between mother and daughter, and I thank You and Bless Your Name that you would choose me to raise her.

I am so grateful that You have a special place in Your heart for women. I love reading Your Word and discovering the amazing female figures placed throughout Biblical history. We have such wonderful women to look to in the Word, and I specifically pray for these attributes for my daughter:

Like Eve, may she be a helpmate to her husband. I pray for their covenant of marriage, that they would always keep You at the center of it all and become a triple-braided cord that is not easily broken. Help my husband and I to model Christ-like love for her as she grows, and for the viewer who is single, help her to choose wisely and pick a man of noble, Godly character if she brings a new man into her daughter’s life.

Like Deborah, may she rule fairly in all of her dealings. Help her to see that her future is unlimited in You, and that she can proceed in her life’s calling regardless of what the world may tell her because she is a woman.

Like Esther, may she be brave, discerning, and bold. Help her to learn divine timing. Surround her with Godly counsel, and help her connect with those in our family who will lead her with sound Biblical wisdom, and reject the unwise teachings of those who are not walking with You.

Like Rachel and Leah, may they be blessed with children and a strong family legacy. We declare that any detrimental generational chains are broken right now in the Name of Jesus, and that our daughter will walk in freedom from the mistakes of her ancestors.

Like Rahab, may she be helpful to others, especially in times of distress. May she always see a way out, and may she have the same kind and brave heart that Rahab possessed.

Like Ruth, may she love big and love boldly. God, give her the faith of Ruth, daughter-in-law of Naomi and wife of Boaz. Help her to choose You and to grow in a strong relationship with You, always desiring to grow deeper in her faith and to have a feeling of never getting enough of You!

Like Mary, the mother of Jesus, may she be favored, Lord. May You look kindly upon her, and keep her as the apple of Your eye. Help her to experience a special, personal relationship with you that will keep her as an unwavering woman of God.

God, I lift up our daughter’s friendships. I pray that you will keep other girls and women away from my daughter who will lead her into temptation. Help her to see the truth in those relationships and be brave and bold enough to reject them, no matter what it may cost socially.

Equip her to be a friend to the friendless and always have an eye for those who are hurting. Gift her with the gift of healing, that when she lays hands upon someone and prays for them to be well, that they will be healed in the Name of Jesus. Let healing come naturally to her, God.

I pray for our daughters who are gifted with the gift of prophecy. I pray that they will operate strongly in that gifting, and that they will be bold in being Your mouthpiece to the world.

We pray for their heart of forgiveness, that they will understand the significance and importance of Christ’s death on the cross for their sins, and that they would extend forgiveness to others for all of their days. Help them not to become bound by the snares of unforgiveness, and that mercy would continually flow from their hearts.

We pray for their safety, that You will place a hedge of protection around them for all of their days. We pray against slander, abuse, sexual harassment and assault, domestic violence, emotional wounds, and theft. We pray that their gift of discernment will operate strongly and that they will be repulsed and repelled from those who wish to do them harm.

God, above all, we thank you for the gift that you have given us in our daughters. “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” God, help us follow You as our daughters follow us, and may that generational legacy be what is passed down to our future grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and beyond.

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

Amen.

My friend, prayer works, and I encourage you to continue praying over your daughter. Pray in the Spirit on all occasions and with all kinds of requests. The Lord hears your prayers!
