Fathers Day…

Dear Lord My Father In Heaven,

I lift to you this morning, Lord, the Dads!

It’s a big load these men carry; give them strength to be the example to the eyes that watch and emulate. Within that strength, Lord provide them with the tenderness to gently touch and love.

I thank you, Lord, for peace to the unemployed fathers who are worried about the future; let your quietness rest upon them as they seek and search. Let you hand lead them to their next quest.

I thank you, Lord, for a day of total rest, for the dads who are overworked and underpaid. I pray their families will feel his value and recognize all he is and does! That he will feel honored today!

Lord, I pray for all the deadbeat dads out there! I pray for a revival among these men who make children but then offer nothing, no time, no support, no appearances…nothing! I pray that you put people in their paths who open their eyes to the fact that a child needs a father figure! That children come with responsibilities, grow up and make yourself a man!

Lord, I pray a hedge of protection around the families of the abusive father. Keep them safe from his cruel hands and mouth! Please, Lord, put your arms around them and lead them to safety and the father to jail and counseling! Thank you for showing these children that love isn’t supposed to hurt!

Lord, I say an extra special prayer for the men who step into the shoes of a father. The men who love someone else child as their own, treat them as their own, raising them up in you, Lord, and how they should live in life and make the best choices—being a father to the fatherless.

I lift up the men who aren’t fathers or stepfathers but the uncles, the grandpa’s, the neighbor, the Big Brother or Foster! Bless them Lord for taking the time to pay attention to the kid or kids who need a male figure in their lives, for stepping into a few roles in the life or lives of children who are without that figure.

I lift the sons and daughters to you today whose dads and daddies have passed and are now residing with you. I ask for a special air of peace, joy, love, memories, and miles of smiles to grace their hearts today!

I thank you, Lord, for being the Best Father ever and for your words of wisdom and teachings of how we too can become the best Father/People we possibly can!

Thank you, Lord, for this day! Thank you, Lord, my sons, are fathers! Thus making me a grandma! Most of all, thank you for my daddy! I was blessed with the most wonderful father a girl could ever have, and I thank you that he is still with me.

In your glorious name Lord Jesus, I pray these things for all our dads! Amen!

Happy Father’s Day! May your day be blessed! 🥰
