Happy Father's Day!💜💜💜
I honor, celebrate and appreciate all my fathers (adopted and biological) my mentors, my brothers and my friends, I’m grateful for you All. Thank you for covering me, protecting me, encouraging me and supporting me, I’m grateful!
Today I ask te world to join me in prayer for our fathers, our elders, our men, our young men, our boys because manhood is under attack in our world today:
Lord, I pray specifically for fathers and fatherhood around the world. Your Word clearly instructs fathers to bring up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). God, I thank You for the men who are leading according to Your statutes and the ones that are laying their lives down for Your purposes. I pray that You will continue to use these men to lead their families and other men. I pray You will strengthen the fathers of our nation and that You will continue to empower nations, churches, organizations, and individuals to invest in fathers and fatherhood for the sake of our children and families in Jesus’ Name!
I pray for the single fathers out there; whether they are raising their children alone or even if they are doing the best they can with the time they have. I pray for strength, protection, wisdom, and discernment to help them through whatever trials they may be facing. Thank You Lord for these men and please guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, help meet all of their needs, that they may experience Your peace that surpasses all comprehension.
I pray for the dads out there who are being alienated from their children right now. I pray, oh Lord, that You would shield and shelter them from the pain and possibly the anger that may be rising up in them, for You to strike down the barriers that are hindering these dads from seeing their children. God, do not let this destroy them as men, fathers, or in their relationship with You. They need You in a mighty way and I pray You would show Yourself strong on behalf of anyone that is being alienated from their children and that You would reunite these families together.
Father I lift up the men and women that are on the front lines in the battle for fatherhood and the war against fatherlessness. God, You clearly put leaders of all calibers in positions of influence: from the highest ranks to the least of these. However we know that with men these initiatives would fall short, but with You all things are possible. I pray for everything from the right funding for the programs to continue, to godly leadership from beginning to end.
I pray for a revival of manhood and for fathers to lead their families by beginning each day on their knees. God Your Word says that You will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers (Malachi 4:6). As our Creator, Savior, and heavenly Father, I believe that this will bear eternal fruit- that generational curses will become generational blessings, restoring our families back to the way that You intended. In Jesus' Name I pray! Amen.
