(Ed.'s Note: The Native American-Mexicana wearing the traditional jingle dress and dancing in competition in a Midwest Pow-Wow is none other than my daughter Maria Iliana Montoya, a member of the Saginaw-Chippewa Tribe from the Isabella Reservation at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. I join the author in the prayer.)
A PRAYER FOR MY DAUGHTER'S STRENGTH AND WELL-BEING
By Jen Tolentino
Dear God, I lift up my daughter to You today
Wrap her up in Your love
Protect her heart
And guide her steps
Give her the strength to face each day with courage
Even when the world feels heavy and uncertain
Fill her with confidence in who she is
Not in what others expect
But in the beauty
You placed inside her
When she feels tired, be her rest
When she feels lost, be her light
May her mind be calm, her body healthy
And her soul in peace
Surround her with kindness
Protect her from harm
And remind her always
That she's never alone
Thank You for the gift of her life
And for trusting me to love her
Amen

Parents should always love their children.
If a woman doesn't love her children she has mental health problems.
Where the heck are you all reading for mom to love her??? She's thanking the Lord for trusting her to love daughter. ugh
