Pray the World Journal from Million Praying Moms{May 2019 update: Y’all, I cannot even with where this little series has gone. Literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of moms have read these posts and prayed these prayers and THOUSANDS of you are praying Scripture every day for the girls you love. If you haven’t already, check out my book just for us moms who want to pray with boldness and confidence for our girls. And be sure to check out the Pray the World Journal from Million Praying Moms where I am happy to serve as GirlMom Content Manager.}
Oh y’all! I cannot begin to explain how excited I am for October! This is the fifth year I’ve taken the 31 Days Blogging Challenge and I am more excited about this series than any other I’ve written. It’s going to be amazing … I just know it. Here’s what I have planned …
31 Verses to Pray for Your Girl.
Starting Wednesday I’ll be sharing a verse and a short prayer every day for the month of October. That’s it — we’re just going to pray Scripture on behalf of our beautiful girls. If you have a daughter — baby, teenager, or full grown momma herself — this is for you. If you aren’t a girl momma but you’ve got a boy who one day will be looking for wife — this is for you. If you teach Sunday school or third grade or a college composition class and there are girls you influence — this is for you. And, if you’ve been feeling weary and worn, needing a season of encouragement from the Lord — good news, my friend, this is for you too!
Pray these verses for your daughters, granddaughters, sisters, nieces, students, peers — or even yourself!
This post will serve as an index for all the prayers. Don’t worry if you get behind — just start back up. Just pray and find the beauty and power in praying the Word of God on behalf of the girls in your life. I promise, you’ll be so glad you did!

I am here and already on my knees. This is exactly what is needed for the season I’ve just entered. Just when I got used to smooth sailing I’ve been hit with two teens/tweens. That are girls. Two completely different personalities. Two identity crises. I’ve had more “where did I go wrong” moments than I care to even own up to as of late. Someone save me. I am drowning.
Teri Lynne Underwood says
Yes. Just yes. Love you … and those two beautiful girls of yours.
Lynn Suddith says
Been there – most probably WAY worse… (Just ask her. LOL)

I love these prayers , my thought is to print them, put them in a journal and give them to my girls. I am also going to include their favorite verses. The only drawback is finding something similar for my boys. LOL thank you for having these prayers everyday. I see it in my girls lives everyday.

Feeing anxious and overwhelmed thinking about the future, especially for my oldest girl. I just want time to slow down. I don’t like this growing up stuff! Glad I found your site, and I know it will be meaningful for me to focus on specific prayers for my sweet girls! They are 16, 12, and 9.
