Lord, I come to You this Father’s Day to thank You for my earthly father, and to thank You for being my perfect Heavenly Father. I praise You for the ways my earthly father has pointed me toward You through his positive relationship with You.

Fathers are intended to reflect Your love to their children. Psalm 103:13 “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him” (ESV). I praise You that my father has shown me the compassion described in this verse. If someone’s father has not treated them compassionately, I ask for Your healing, comfort, and perspective on the situation.

Regardless of how my earthly Father has provided for me, I know that I can rely on You to always provide for me. Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” You are the source of every good thing about my father or father figure. James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Encourage the fathers I know to develop their relationship with You in such a way that their children can follow in their footsteps and glorify You.

If your father is deceased, ask God to give you positive memories of him.

Thank you for loving me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
