Heavenly Father, I lift up this child to you, asking that they always know how deeply they are loved,
by me, by those around them, but most importantly, by you.
Before they took their first breath, you knew them and you called them by name.
Let their heart be filled with the security of your love, a love that never fails and never leaves.
When they feel afraid, remind them that you are their protector.
When they feel alone, whisper your presence into their heart.
Surround them with people who show them kindness and point them to you.
As they grow, plant in them a love for your word and desire to follow you.
Let them seek you not out of duty, but out of joy.
May they always walk in your truth and know that they are cherished.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
