When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn’t remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world. Now you are having pain. But I’ll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
John 16:21-22
A daughter is a beautiful gift from God.
May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace.
Psalm 144:12
When God made Eve, He was thinking of a helper for Adam. Someone to keep him company and sustain him through all times. The Psalmist talks about daughters as being graceful pillars that beautify a palace. Pillars are responsible for holding up a building. A strong pillar can hold the biggest of buildings for a very long time.
Women are responsible for our continuity. They hold us in their wombs, they nurture us; they feed us and provide us with comfort and stability. When we bear daughters we are certain that we have created a bigger family. They are the pillars of the family and they make sure that generations are sustained.
As Christians, we have to raise them into strong and beautiful pillars of society. They have to understand the roles they play and the significance of their existence.
God knew that Adam would be useless by himself and so He made him someone gentle, kind, tender, graceful, strong, and longsuffering who could help Adam take care of the creation of God. It is our responsibility to raise our little daughters into virtuous and strong women who can hold firm, protect their families and keep generations together when we are not there.
As we see from Eve’s responsibilities, God made women a certain way so they can handle the stresses and pains of life and at the same time take care of their families. Women were made stronger and have a higher tolerance for pain as we see during childbirth. We must pray for our daughters so they are not led astray and lose sight of their purpose in life.

I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
Ephesians 1:16-17
We have to pray fervently and unceasingly for our daughters no matter how old they may be. They have lives of their own and will always need council and protection from us. Never make your daughter feel like she cannot count on you for protection. When the whole world is mean to her you have to be her one bright spot.
From the time they lie in your arms as babies till the time you die, it is your responsibility to nurture and make them feel safe just like God does for you. That means you should not be judgmental or stop giving them your love no matter what they do to you. Being a parent is a privilege from God, do not abuse it.
