Father God – Happy Father’s Day!
For you so loved the world that you gave up your only son (John 3:16), and because of Jesus, we are been made righteous. Father, you have lavished us with a great love that we should be called children of God! (1 John 3:1)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Ephesians 1:3). Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Philippians 4:20)
Father, today we also honor all earthly fathers, and so Jesus we lift up fathers everywhere this day – especially:
- Fathers who are close to 100 years old — may God smile at them at the end of their lives. Psalm 146:2
- New Fathers who has no idea what they are doing or how to change a diaper – may God give them wisdom for the days ahead. James 1:5

- Step-fathers who took up the mantle of Fatherhood out of love – may their unselfish work will be blessed by God. Philippians 2:13
- Fathers with broken relationships — may God restore and heal. Psalm 147:3
- Fathers who had to move away from their family in order to support them — may God help bless in their loneliness and their hard work. Psalm 128:2
