Father’s Day Prayer
Loving
God,
we
come on this Father’s Day,
reminded
that you are the Father of us all.
You
have been with us from our birth,
guiding,
nurturing and sustaining us.
Father
God.
we praise you.
You
have taught us and brought us to maturity,
always
concerned for our welfare,
constantly
seeking the best for us.
Father
God.
we praise you.
Whenever
we have needed you, you have been there,
willing
to listen and advise,
yet
giving us the freedom to make our own choices
and
find our own way.
Father
God.
we praise you.
You
have called us to be your family,
a
people united through your son, Jesus Christ,
and
through him you have revealed your love,
a
love that reaches out to us day by day
despite
our failure to love you in return.
Father
God.
we praise you.
Teach
us to live as your children –
to
hear your voice,
obey
your instruction,
and
respond to your goodness.
Father
God.
we praise you.
Teach
us to bear your name with pride,
to
share with others,
through
word and deed,
the
joy you have given us.
Father
God.
we praise you.
And
finally, receive our thanks,
for
the fathers you have given us,
all
they have meant to us,
all
they have given,
and
all they have done in so many ways.
Father
God.
we praise you,
in the name of
Christ. Amen.
