A Prayer For Our Daughters

 
LORD, in YOUR GENEROSITY;
YOU have given us DAUGHTERS.
They have been created in YOUR image and born in ours....

Teach us how to safeguard their DIVINITY.
To CONSECRATE their genius.
To CELEBRATE their Womanhood.
And to LIBERATE the PURPOSE that YOU have named them for.

I am crying out to YOU most especially
for those who are 18-35 years of age.
This world is too violent to teach them Kindness.
This culture is too shallow to honor their Dignity.
This planet is too foul to offer them Purity.

LET THE GOSPEL RADIATE through us to them.
LET THE HOLY GHOST draw them to our FAITH.
And let our RIGHTEOUS INTERCESSIONS draw them to YOU:
In WORSHIP.
In SERVICE.
In HUMILITY and DETERMINATION.

HEAR our prayer, O LORD.
And grant us our supplications.
In the NAME OF JESUS.

~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
