My Prayer for Father's Day Lord I just thank you for this day that we can honor our Fathers. We start by honoring you, the Father of us all; according to Galatians 3: 6And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" 7Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. I thank you for my Father and husbands who have been gone from our presence many years. I thank you for the legacy left to me by my Father which left me with a mind to figure things out. While I did not have a close relationship with my Father, as perceived by others, I miss his silent strength. I thank God for the Father of my children and thank him for giving me that occasion to be a Mother And I thank him for the Father that he has been always trying to make things easier for his children I thank God for the other Fathersí of those around this table, and thank them for the presence in their lives, especially thru their testimony of God in their lives. I pray for***** in these stressful days of business ahead and also for ***** as he goes thru chemo. I thank God for the young fatherís around this table and the joy that daughter, daughter, daughter and son have brought to their lives. I thank you for their walk with you and uphold them in the years that follow. I thank God for the Father that is missing from this table and pray that thru your spirit reaching out to us we might see your hand at work in bringing him back to us. I thank him for the joy that he has brought to Daughter and us thru son and son. I also pray for his father that he might see your glory and realize a need for your presence in his life Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors And lead us not into tempation but deliever us from evil For thine is the kingdom and power and glory for ever Amen Carol | ||

Carol, thank you for sharing that prayer. I was quite overwhelmed yesterday by realizing how God has been, in many significant ways, a Father to Richard and has blessed him to be a Father who has the love of Jesus in his heart. I know I've said this before, but it is absolutely a miracle of God when an entrenched Adventist finds Jesus and embraces the freedom of Sabbath rest in Jesus. It affects every part of one's life--even (maybe espcially!) one's ability to be a parent, spouse, and friend! I just praise God for saving us from before the creation of the world; for knowing us individually from eternity! What a mystery and a paradox! Colleen | ||
