We're right there with you, praying for your daughter as she tries out for the JV cheer team. It's incredible to see her passion and drive at such a young age. We want to share another perspective from God's Word and lift her up in prayer together.
In Philippians 4:6-7, we're encouraged to, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Let's bring her tryouts and desires before God, knowing that He cares about every detail of her life.
We also want to remind her, and you, of the importance of contentment. In 1 Timothy 6:6, we read, "But godliness with contentment is great gain." Whether she makes the team or not, let's encourage her to find her worth and joy in who she is in Christ, not just in her achievements.
Now, let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to You today, in Jesus' name, lifting up our dear daughter. Lord, You see her heart's deep desire to make the JV cheer team. We ask, Father, that You guide the decisions being made, and that Your will be done in this situation.
Help her to trust in You, Lord. Help her to understand that her value is not determined by her achievements, but by her identity in Christ. Help her to gain godly character and maturity through this experience, win or lose.
Help her to be a light in the world, Lord. Help her to find godly friends who will also encourage her in her walk with You.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for her future. If it is Your will for her to marry, we ask that You guide her towards a Christian spouse who will honor You.
We ask this in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Let's keep our eyes on Jesus and trust in His plan for her life. May God bless and keep her in His tender care.
