Our daughter turned seven today, and it feels like time is moving far too quickly. As we celebrated her special day, I was struck by how much she’s grown. Not just physically but in her understanding of the world and her faith.
This past year, she’s shown such a hunger for learning about God. Her questions about Scripture and prayer are a reminder of the childlike faith Jesus calls us all to have. Seeing her grow spiritually is one of the greatest joys of my life as a parent.
My wife and I continue to pray over her daily, asking God to guide her steps and to help us raise her in His truth. Birthdays like this are a chance to celebrate not just her life but also the ways God is working in her heart.
Reflection Questions
- How can you encourage childlike faith in your children?
- What are some ways to celebrate your child’s spiritual growth as they grow older?
Prayer
Lord, thank You for our daughter and for the privilege of watching her grow. Teach me to nurture her faith, helping her to know and trust You more deeply each day. Bless her with wisdom, joy, and a heart that seeks after You. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
