Prayers for Mia

I pray that she is nice, but not a people pleaser.
I pray that she is smart, but moreover, wise.
I pray that she is ambitious, but not so much that she misses the simple joys of motherhood.
I pray that she is sensitive to Your voice.
I pray that she has always has as much faith in me as she has right now.
I pray that I am always the kind of mother that deserves that much faith.
I pray that she always has as much faith in You as she has right now.
I pray that she is liked but not necessarily popular, and that she doesn't care either way.
I pray that she is humble and meek, but also, strong and courageous.
I pray that she is generous and kind.
I pray that she is not judgemental of anyone. Least of all, herself.
I pray that she always looks at her Daddy the way she does now.
I pray that she knows that no man is worthy of her unless he looks at her back with that same love.
I pray that she is giving with her friendship but guarded with her heart.
I pray that she can learn from my mistakes.
And that she can learn from her mistakes the first time.
I pray that she uses all of her gifts for Your glory.
And that we create an environment that nurtures and encourages those gifts.
I pray that she has a high self esteem but is not arrogant.
I pray that she is happy, but more so, joyful.
I pray that she knows that we want the very best for her.
I pray that she can feel, even if in part, how desperately in love with her we are.
