Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
Matthew 7:9-11(ESV)
When we ask our heavenly Father for something, He will never fail to grant it according to His will if what we ask for is suitable.
No matter how loudly a child begs for it, a loving parent will never give them something terrible that could foster evil; this is how God relates with us.
Naturally, our wants do not always match our needs, and we won’t get what we want if it’s not in God’s will. No matter how Father we like what we’re requesting, God is steadfast and compassion Father to say “no” because He knows what is best for us.

Fathers’ love demonstrates unconditional love and faithfulness for their daughters. For a father, the only thing that matters is that his daughter grows up to be a good woman who will do what God has commanded.
This is not to say that fathers should never correct or punish their daughters; instead, a father must devote time to teaching her all the essential lessons of life. So a daughter must understand that her father values and cares for her.
I hope that these verses will strengthen your bond with your daughter and enable you to show her how much you care.
