FATHER’S DAY PRAYER 19 JUNE 2022
Lord, thank you for all fathers.
For the new ones, who endure sleepless nights with infants
in arms.
For the busy ones, who juggle the pressures of work and
family life.
For the steadfast ones, who nurture and care for our special
vulnerable children.
For the patient ones, who always seek to forgive and engage
with their pre-teens.
For the persistent ones, who cleverly find new ways to
connect with their mini-adults.
For the father uncles, who step in to cradle and care for
nieces and nephews.
For all granddads, who love and support their precious
grandchildren.
For the foster dads that are called to gather and cover
the fragile ones.
For the Sunday dads who care for our children and lead
them in faith.
For the dads who give far beyond their own resources,
who overcome disability to cherish and love.
Thank you, Lord, for all our beautiful fathers.
Help us to support them and keep them in our prayers.
May you bless them now on this their special day and
always. Amen. (www.lords-prayer-words.com)
As we celebrate and honour fathers today may we all
experience the gracious presence of God.
Vuyelwa.
