A Father’s Day Prayer

Almighty God, the perfect Father,

We ask your blessing this day on our fathers.

Hold their hands when things get scary;

Encourage them when life gets tough;

Make them laugh until milk shoots out of their noses;

Provide them with all they need;

Guide them to make good decisions in life;

Stand by them when they don’t;

Wipe their noses; dry their tears;

Let them play in the mud and jump in puddles, but don’t tell Mom;

Inspire them to dream dreams bigger than life;

And when the time comes for their earthly life to come to a close, cradle them in your big, strong arms.

Amen
