  1. People who don’t have parents who pray for them from birth for God to guide them in all areas of their life obviously do not understand his post. If he waits to pray for her purity until she is a teenager, it will likely be too late. Be offended by something else.

  2. If you will read more closely he stated in the message for her to read when she gets older. There is nothing creepy, strange or upsetting about a father praying for her daughter to remain pure until she is married. That is exactly how God planned for it to be. God created the marriage institution. This world would be a better place if every father showed this much concern about their daughters! Shame, shame, shame to those who thought his message was anything but loving!

  3. The people who thinks that is creepy, there is something wrong with them. Goodness, people getting offended at this is sick. I’m amazed at some of the stuff people are calling creepy. Leave this couple alone.

  4. I pray for all those things everyday for my children. There is nothing disgusting or disturbing about it. Seek the Lord with all your heart. Once you do, you will understand. It’s your choice to follow the Lord or not as it’s your choice to be a Bates fan.

  5. I think it is wonderful that a dad shows love and concerns for their child’s future,so may God bless you and your family and stay strong
