Day 91: Ember Faith Prayer Countdown

It seems like time has been moving so fast since we started this prayer countdown. Everyday, we are surprised by what day we are on. Today, we are beginning to pray a series of prayers regarding the kind of person we want Ember to be. Ultimately, we want her to be exactly who God created her to be. We want her to be a follower of Christ, who is surrendered to His will and His plan for her. However, we also want to ask God to develop specific virtues in her. So today, we pray that Ember would be full of God's love and compassion.

Father, You are so loving and so kind. You surround us everyday with evidence of Your love and compassion, if we would only open up our eyes and see it. Lord, we desire to share Your love with our daughter, and we pray that she would grow up to be a young lady known for her compassion. May You fill her heart so full of Your love that she would not be able to keep it to herself. We pray that she would learn to show Your love to all those around her, even those who seem unlovable, those who may have hurt her. May her heart never be afraid to love. May her hands never be to busy to show compassion to someone in need, and may her life never be so full of people that she has no room to love You. This we pray as we await the arrival of our sweet Ember Faith.
