Father

     As parents, we never grow out of worrying, helping, loving and wanting the best for our children. These days, it’s double and even triple the care and concern, with a son-in-law and a future son-in-law, a grandson and two future added grandchildren to join the family.

     Luckily for us, we have a Father in heaven. Our Father in heaven never grows weary, never makes mistakes, and never frets or worries. He understands. He made us with love and kindness.

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Jeremiah 31:3

     Even as loving parents, we make mistakes. We grow tired and cranky. We make a wrong decision, or a few hundred wrong decisions. There’s also a chance you never had a loving, earthly father. There is one available to you. He will love you and never leave you.

I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you. John 14:18

     Lean on the perfect Father. He will remain our firm foundation. When we lose faith, He is faithful. When we are out of control, He is steadfast. When we are sick with worry, He is filled with peace. Leave it in His capable, loving and kind hands. He will be with you now and forever.

Dear Father in heaven,

You are the perfect daddy (“Abba” Romans 8:15). As imperfect parents, we know we can rely on You to take away our fear and worry. Remind us to lift up our children and their families in prayer to You each and every day. Oh, how we need. You.

In Jesus name,

Amen
