In memory of my kind and loving Dad, who was the No. 1 Fan of my writings.
I am inspired to send this Prayer to Fathers Everywhere in his memory
A Prayer for Father's, Grandfathers, Uncles, Fathers of adoptee, foster fathers and Church fathers Everywhere
Dear God,
Bless the Fathers everywhere who raise their children with love and care
to make them strong, confident and wise,
to teach them to stand and help them rise.
Bless the fathers who struggle, who don't know what to do,
help them put their trust in you,
to raise their children with love and care,
God bless the fathers everywhere.
Even the ones who sit in jail.
Bless their children until they return, and
help the new fathers who are trying to learn-
The Fathers at war, and overseas,
who yearn to see their little boy's face
and hug their baby girl, full of grace.
Protect and shield them till they come home
to open arms where they belong.
A special blessing to fathers who care for children with special needs
with patience and love that exceeds any challenge that comes their way,
God bless our fathers today.
Bless all the coaches, teachers, pastors, deacons and mentors too that
fatherless children look up to.
Bless them to represent you to the world, uplifting every boy and girl.
Bless the fathers everywhere for they give so much to us all.
Steady their feet, strengthen their shoulders,
to pick us up when we fall.
Bless even the fathers who are absent from homes
bring them back where they belong.
Help the single dads who never quit,
give them direction ( 'mother wit' ); to raise their children
and meet their needs, that they will thrive and succeed.
And for all of us whose fathers rest in your arms, who loved us and shielded us from harm, we thank you for all the years, all the joy, the ups and downs, all the memories, and all the love that helped us become all that they dreamed of.
God Bless the Fathers everywhere. copyright BG Stanley, 2020
