Day Three: That God would be magnified in her heart
Psalm 34:3 (ESV) Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!
Whether your daughter is young or old, there are many things in her life competing for her time, talents, affection, and worship. So much of her energy can be wasted on the wrong things that this world has to offer. Even good things, that the Lord created to point us to praise for Him, can become bigger than they should. Let’s pray for our daughters to flee from idolatry and into the arms of Jesus–the only one who can satisfy her heart.
Magnify yourself Lord, in my daughter’s heart. Draw her to you and pursue her with your unfailing love. I pray that she will see that any joy and pleasure in this life is nothing compared to what you offer, and is meant to point her to you. Help her to see you working in her life and to praise you, even if it hurts, while she is struggling with following after your will versus hers. Holy Spirit please empower her to praise you at all times. Lord, help her to worship you, the Creator, over your good creation.
