Here’s a
prayer for fathers from the Brummhart Publishing website.
Prayer
for Father’s Day
God and
father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
you have
gathered us as your own family,
happy to
act as our father
and to
have us call you father,
providing
us with all we need
to live
and thrive on earth.
This day
we thank you for the blessing of fathers,
for all
our own fathers have done for us
to rear
us to take care of ourselves and our world,
to guide
us into the paths of peace and righteousness,
to show
us how to be both strong and gentle.
We pray
for those men who are fathers
who find
themselves unable or unwilling
to
fulfill their roles as dad for their children.
We pray
for new fathers,
learning
to care for and enjoy their little ones,
experienced
fathers who are learning
to let go
of their children,
and for
fathers whose unseen presence
still
guides their adult children.
Bless, we
ask, the memory of fathers
who have
passed into your presence,
guide and
sustain those whose fatherly work is not yet done,
and give
us all the grace we need to build up
the
children of generations who will come after us.
