Prayer For Dad's on Father's Day For Every Day

Happy Father's Day!

For all the dad jokes, and jokes at dad's expense 

most dad's I think would agree, being a dad is no joke!!

It's often hard and always holy!

Today many in our community's hearts and prayers are with the dad(and mother)

who lost five children in a terrible traffic collision, and laid them to rest yesterday.

Today we also think of the families who have bid farewell on earth to precious dad.

And today we think of our dear dads still with us and say

 'thank-you for all you do! and we love you!!'

My dad...

My children's dad...

My grandchildren's dad...

Dear Father in Heaven, I pray

For fathers far and wide today 

That you would grant them strength to bear

Love's worthy weight of constant care

That You would kindle in their hearts 

 Faith, for what fatherhood imparts;

A call You crown with holy due

Until their life on earth is through

Dear Lord, a father’s charge would be

A grim responsibility

Of bread to win and bills to pay

And teaching children to obey

Without Your word to cheer and bless

Without home's humble happiness

Without hugs, kisses, prayers and such

From those for whom they give so much

 

Heavenly Father, You are kind

Then pray each earthly dad may find

Prayers for kindness and patience met

Aware of examples they set

Help them, through grace and love to show

Each child the way they ought to go

Provide wisdom and courage when

Training morrow’s women and men

Dear Father in Heaven, I pray

For fathers young and old today

That, as You faithfully supply

Their needs as days and years go by

That they would reap the rich reward

Of honour for their lives outpoured 

Without reserve and willingly 

For love of God and family 

Lord, through the power of Your Word

Keep love's diligence undeterred

And through the goodness of Your grace

Equip them for all they must face

And through Your love's priority

Help them to love their family

Lest we forget, remind us to

Say 'thank-you Dad' and ' I love you' 

Janet Martin

As a father has compassion on his children, 

so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him. 

Psalm 103:13

Train up a child in the way he should go,

 and when he is old, he will not depart from it. 

 Proverbs 22:6

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, 

but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. 

 Ephesians 6:4
