Gift Gugu Mona Prayers Quotes

“Lord, Please Bless My Child

I was blessed with a precious gift
Beautiful and sweet
God’s grand masterpiece
She brought me peace
And made me believe
So much in the Lord
My life is filled with joy
Through this lovely Soul
A beam of hope
I know she will grow
Become so great
Yes, I will be glad
To see her prosper
As she dwells on earth
I pray with a sincere heart
Lord, please bless my child”

“God Bless My Darling Child

This is from your dear Mother
Who expected you for months
Sometimes feeling distressed and exhausted
Though excited about carrying another soul

Eyes watched how she gained weight
Tummy bulging with time
Cravings shooting sky high
Conduct, a little bit unusual

She had many questions in mind
Said endless prayers for you
Believed God for your safe arrival
Hoped for your survival

Wished you become a responsible human
And a respectable woman like her
The brightest without fear
Great in this world

When she saw your face for the first time
She embraced her treasure
Looked at you and declared
‘God bless my darling child.”

“I Pray For This Girl

Oh yes! For the young girl
Who just landed on Mother Earth!
The one about to turn five with a smile
Or the other one who just turned nine
She is not only mine
My Mother’s, Grandmother’s
Neighbours’ or friends’ daughter
She is like a flower
Very fragile, yet so gorgeous

An angel whose wings are invisible
I speak life to this young or older girl
She might not have a say
But expects the world to be a better place
Whether affluent or impoverished
No matter her state of mind
Her background must not determine
How she is treated in life
She needs to live; she has to thrive!

Lord God Almighty
Sanctify her unique journey
Save her from the claws of the enemy
Shield her against any brutality
Restore her, if pain becomes reality
Embrace her, should joy pass swiftly
When emptiness fills her heart severely
May you be her sanctuary!

Dear Father, please give her
Honour to grow without being frightened
Hope whenever she feels forsaken
Contentment even after her heart was broken
Comfort when she is shaken
Courage when malice creeps in
Calm when she needs peace
Strength when she is weak
Freedom to climb to the mountain peak
And wisdom to tackle any season

Guide her steps, keep her from tumbling
My Lord, if she does sometimes stumble
Lift her up, so she can rise and ramble
Grant her power to tactfully triumph
On my knees, I plead meekly for this girl

I may have never met her
I may not know her name
I may not be in her shoes
I may not see her cries
Yet, I grasp her plight
Wherever she is
King of Kings
Be with her
Each and every day
I pray for this girl”
