Upon Considering her Future

Dear Lord,

I guess we are near the point of making decisions about Kayla's future. I do not understand your plan. I see her through earthly eyes, filtered by a father's heart. I see a young woman who is brilliant, passionate, and driven. I see her amazing memory and he quick mind, along with her desire to help others, now coupled with a genuine interest in psychology, and I believe she could be a counselor for the broken, and a guide for the lost. I also know her brilliance in all other matters, and believe she could pursue those next phases of her life in any place you would choose for her.

And instead, there is a path laid before her that is completely independent of fulfilling that potential. It is a path of pain, poorness, and likely failure. It is a path she would walk alone and far away. It will have fear, doubt, hardship, and loneliness. Yet it aligns to her joy.

Yahweh, Abba, Adonai, Elohim, Jehovah, El Shaddai ... I only pray two things.

First, please forever have your hand on the life, safety, and direction of my daughter. May you guide her path and ways and thoughts and goals. May you set her mind on the path that both honors you and protects her. Please give her the full life of your promise.

And second, may I be strong enough to listen and obey your direction now, and to trust this great possession into your hands.

In the name of Jesus, amen, and amen.
