Happy Father’s Day to everyone celebrating today! We have this prayer for you and your loved ones.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the fathers and father figures throughout Hopeland.

We pray you bless them with love, joy, peace and faithfulness so that their children flourish and grow in their own relationship with you.

Guide and give them patience and grace to continue striving to be good role models.

Comfort those who are longing to be fathers and those who finds days like today a difficult reminder of loss or separation.

Help us all look to your example of fatherly love.

We ask these things in Jesus’ name.

Amen
