Daddy's Girl

Abba, Father, I want to thank you. I want to thank you with all of my heart for being here for me all the time, for loving me and cherishing me. I take it for granted so much, but when I think about the things in life that are bringing the people I care about down, I get discouraged. Thank you for being me loving Heavenly Father, always.
And thank you also for sending me a wonderful earthly father. I've seen so many of my friends grow up without a father in their lives, or with a crappy father who doesn't love and hold his little girl like he should. That makes me sad, because I love the relationship I have with my Daddy, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. He has never abused me, he has constantly been here for me, though he may be a little too logical and non-emotional and a fairly demanding parent, I know he loves me. He's authoritative, yet kind. He hugs me when I have a bad day, he helps me with my math homework instead of yelling at me for a failing grade, he gives me guidance and direction as I go through so much stress and uncertainty about the future, and I could go on all night about the things he's done, the good constantly outweighing the bad, though he's not a perfect person.
So I thank you so much God, for giving me an earthly father that so greatly models you, so that I can know that I'm a beautiful girl, in his eyes and in yours, and that I am worth something.
I pray that you'll help all of the girls in the world who don't have such a connection to their earthly fathers see that they have a Heavenly one who loves them unconditionally and will never leave or forsake them, that they are perfect in your eyes.

I love my Daddy here on Earth,
and I love you Heavenly Father.
Amen.
