Prayer for Fathers
Creator God, thank You for creating me to share in the conception of life, and share in the responsibility of raising my children. I ask that You would help me as I train up my children to know You and love You. As I look to You as my Father, may I give Your love to my children. God, give me the compassion and tenderness my children need. Give me courage and strength to live according to Your guidance and wisdom. Help me correct them when needed and encourage them always. In Jesus’ name, amen.

May they praise You for Your loving care. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Father God, You are infinite and all-knowing. Please give me wisdom to be the leader You have called me to be -- in my home and in business. There are many choices and sometimes I fall short.
