Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 1 Peter 3:8
I remember early in my walk with Christ listening to a live Keith Green album. Before one of his songs Green prayed that his heart would have “baby skin all over it”. I want this same thing for my precious daughter. I want her to be tender-hearted as the Scriptures command her to be. As a three-year old her heart still has baby skin. But I know that the harshness of life outside of Eden will tempt her to harden her heart for protection. I want to take her natural tenderness and fan it into flame. May we have tender-hearted daughters.
Father, I pray that you cause my daughter’s heart to have “baby skin all over it”. Create and sustain within her a tender heart. Though the world may mock a sensitive heart, help her to know that it is very pleasing to you. May her heart be tender towards those you’ve put into her life. More than anything I pray that her heart is tender towards you. I pray that the tender heart of Jesus shines through the heart of my little girl, Amen.
