The prayer life of a Christian can sometimes become tiresome, especially if you don’t feel like praying. We hope our simple prayers centered around everyday life will provide some guidance and help you grow in your prayer life. 

A Prayer for My Dad

Relationships with dads are complicated things. Some of us have great relationships with our dads and are excited to celebrate that! Some of us didn’t have a relationship with him at all. Dads can build you up. And tear you down. They can cause great good, and can cause some of the deepest brokenness and harm. Some of us don’t even think about our biological dads as our fathers. For some of us, there’s another guy or guys in our lives that represents dadhood to us. Regardless of who you view as “dad,” or what emotions you run into this week of Father’s Day, here’s a scripture to think about and a prayer to pray to bless those father figures in your life.  

“If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11).

A Father’s Blessing

Abba, who gives good gifts to us your children, and is the ideal picture of dadhood, bless__________ today. May he know your presence and experience your love. May he be filled with your strength, and overflow with your kindness and peace. I honor him, and you, for the gift of his presence in my life. I bless him—whether in person or from afar—with this Father’s Blessing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
