Thank You, Lord, for the precious gift of my child. Because Your Word says that every good gift comes from You, I know that You have given her to me to care for and raise.
Help me to do that. Show me places where I continue to hang on to her and enable me to release her to Your protection, guidance, and counsel.
Help me not to live in fear of possible dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing that You are in control. I'm grateful that I don't have to rely on the world's unreliable and ever-changing methods of child raising, but that I can have clear directions from Your Word and wisdom as I pray to You for answers. I rely on You for everything, and this day I trust my child to You and release her into Your hands.
In Jesus' name I pray.
If you then, being evil, know how to
give good gifts to your children, how
much more will your Father who is in
heaven give good things to those who
ask Him!
MATTHEW 7:11
