"How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God."-Psalm 139:17
    
    Divine omniscience affords no comfort to the ungodly mind, but to the child of God it overflows with consolation. God is always thinking upon us, never turns aside His mind from us, has us always before His eyes; and this is precisely as we would have it, for it would be dreadful to exist for a moment beyond the observation of our heavenly Father. His thoughts are always tender, loving, wise, prudent, far-reaching, and they bring to us countless benefits: hence it is a choice delight to remember them. The Lord always did think upon His people: hence their election and the covenant of grace by which their salvation is secured; He always will think upon them: hence their final perseverance by which they shall be brought safely to their final rest. In all our wanderings the watchful glance of the Eternal Watcher is evermore fixed upon us-we never roam beyond the Shepherd's eye. In our sorrows He observes us incessantly, and not a pang escapes Him; in our toils He marks all our weariness, and writes in His book all the struggles of His faithful ones. These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our paths, and penetrate the innermost region of our being. Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel, of our bodily organization is uncared for; all the littles of our little world are thought upon by the great God.
    
    Dear reader, is this precious to you? then hold to it. Never be led astray by those philosophic fools who preach up an impersonal God, and talk of self-existent, self-governing matter. The Lord liveth and thinketh upon us, this is a truth far too precious for us to be lightly robbed of it. The notice of a nobleman is valued so highly that he who has it counts his fortune made; but what is it to be thought of by the King of kings! If the Lord thinketh upon us, all is well, and we may rejoice evermore.

I Can Only Imagine by Bart Millard

https://www.tommynelson.com/books/can-imagine-little-ones/

Ages 0 - 2 Years & 3 - 5 Years by: Bart Millard

Encourage your children’s sense of wonder and faith with I Can Only Imagine for Little Ones. This book is inspired by the hit song by MercyMe. This delightful board book will capture your family’s childlike faith and imagination.

What an awesome book to introduce a friendship with Jesus to young children.  I love the hard board book.  It is nice and sturdy to with stand little hands.  A whimsical book that kids of all ages will adore.  It is written in sing song rhyme rhythm..poetry.  There are key words that jump off the page in different font.   The picture are bight and bold and add so much to the words.   It is a book I'm sure your kids will ask to be read to them over and over again.  A book that we will add to our church library.

Powerful Prayers for Your Daughter: Praying for Every Part of Her Life

by Rob and Joanna Teigen

From the moment your little girl was born, you knew you were going to be doing a lot of praying. So you may wonder, What exactly should I be praying for?

Collecting specific prayers you can use, along with stories from other parents about how God has answered their prayers, Rob and Joanna Teigen give you a strong foundation to build a lifelong habit of praying for your daughter. They also help you understand what girls go through growing up, including stress, purity issues, social pressure, modesty challenges, spiritual growth, and more.

Remember: you may not always understand your daughter, but God does! Start asking him for guidance, protection, and blessings today.


Wish I would have had this book about 25 years ago.  I offered to review this book in hopes of helping me find some ideas for prayers for my adult daughters.  The prayers in this book are aimed for younger aged girls school aged, teens, etc.  It is an excellent resource for those that have younger daughters, but not much so for those that have adult daughters.  As a mother of two adult daughters I needed to be using these prayers long before 18-21 years of age.  Don't get me wrong it is an excellent book, the themes/topics are right on for younger aged daughters.  I need topics for now that they are adult and married or single and on their own. I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit knows even before I pray what my adult daughters needs are.  As I pray for them He takes their needs to the throne of God for this mom.
