A prayer for dads this Father’s Day
Father’s Day is a time to pause and honor dads, husbands, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, father figures, sons and all the men in our lives. We give thanks and praise God for placing these honorable, kind and gentle men in our paths for His loving light to shine through. For, through their lives, we have been given a beautiful example of what it means to love and live for God.
Let’s celebrate the special role these men play or have played in our lives—from every first-time father to the seasoned grandpa. Share this prayer with your friends and family, and invite them to come alongside you in praying for God to bless dads everywhere this Father’s Day.
