O Heavenly Father,
There is only one Father and that is You, my God. The Father of my Savior, and Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Lamb, Light and Lion. From You proceed all earthly and spiritually blessings. Praise You for grace, mercy and glory.
Thank You for allowing me to be a dad. Children given as a blessing and a labor for Your glory and kingdom. Where much is given, much is required. I have 8 souls entrusted for their well-being, not only in this world, but eternity to come. I have others that you have set in my midst over the years to be an impact for Your greater purpose, cause me to see and understand these things. Grant that these souls would be saved from the uttermost and kept in Your most precious hands. Cover them with the blood and keep them from spotting the white garments. May they all be at that table of the marriage supper of the Lamb, when we finally get home. Use them for Your kingdoms purposes and take them wherever, whenever and however You see fit. For there is no mistake or error with Thee.
Forgive me, Lord, for my failures as a dad. My weakness, my selfishness, my pride, my anger, my loss of purpose, will and choice, I ask of You to forgive and correct my ways. Forgive for lack of love, compassion, time, for disciplining in anger, and forgive for not seeing the greater work You were wanting to do in them, long before they was born. "Before you was born, I knew thee".
Take this family and lead us, guide us and keep us. Let not Satan have his will and way among us. Give wisdom, strength to overcome and may our witness and light shine brightly in this world of darkness. Oh, how we need Thee, every hour we need Thee, yea, every moment. Come now and abide with us, in us and work through us for Your honor and glory,
Hear the prayers and answer O Father of heaven and earth; we ask in the Name of Your Beloved Son,
in Jesus' Holy and Precious Name, Amen
