Heavenly Father, we thank You
for the gift of fatherhood,
and for the blessings that come with it.
We pray for all fathers, that they may have
the strength and courage to lead their families
with love and compassion.
May they be a source of inspiration and guidance,
and may they always strive to be the best fathers they can be.
We also pray for our own fathers – living and deceased.
We thank them for their love, support, and sacrifice.
May we always honor them and show them
the gratitude they deserve.
We ask all these things in your holy name,
Amen.
