While the details of that conversation are blurry, one thing she said remains with me: Psalm 144:12 \u201cThen our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, <em>and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace<\/em>\u201d. Pillars that hold up palaces are often beautifully designed and decorated, but their purpose is so much greater than their appearance. Pillars need to be shaped, cut, precisely positioned, and made with strong material as they stand tall aside other pillars and withstand immense amounts of pressure. King David\u2019s prayer is directly from the heart of God\u2013to have daughters of the Kingdom strong, firm, valued, significant, and beautiful, from the inside-out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Shaping girls into godly pillars of society, the world, and the Church requires the teaching of biblical truth and the example of Christ. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">In the articles below two mothers, respectively, share their experience raising daughters who are firm in faith and strong in truth.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-pale-pink-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianparenting.org\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Along The Way With Your Daughter&#8221;<\/a><\/span><a label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianparenting.org\/articles\/along-way-daughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\"> <\/span><\/a><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">by Trish Donohue<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.desiringgod.org\/articles\/may-she-be-beautiful-and-strong\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">\u201cMay She be Beautiful and Strong\u201d <\/span><\/a><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">by Carolyn Mahaney<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201c&#8230;God has sovereignly placed you in your daughter\u2019s life to model, as her earthly father, her perfect heavenly Father.
