Annika's dedication


Heavenly Father,

We thank you for blessing us with Annika. We are humbled that You have entrusted us with the responsibility of raising her, and we ask for your guidance in doing that. Please help us to be good examples for her in living out our faith, and help us teach her to know You, and follow You wholeheartedly.

We ask that you guide her development; help her discover the talents you have blessed her with, and use those talents to help her better serve You. Please guide her steps and help her to know and experience the depth of Your love for her and for those around her. 

Dear Lord, we dedicate Annika to You, and dedicate ourselves to her spiritual growth.

Amen

Raising our girls to love the Lord and His world, to be caring and kind and generous, to serve others, to make Him known through actions even more than words: these are our greatest challenges as parents. What a blessing and responsibility!
