The Rev. Chuck Currie wrote the following prayer for Father’s Day:

“We give our thanks, Creator God, for the fathers in our lives. Fatherhood does not come with a manual, and reality teaches us that some fathers excel while others fail. We ask for Your blessings for them all—and forgiveness where it is needed.

“This Father’s Day we remember the many sacrifices fathers make for their children and families, and the ways—both big and small—they lift children to achieve dreams thought beyond reach. So too, we remember all those who have helped fill the void when fathers pass early or are absent—grandfathers and uncles, brothers and cousins, teachers, pastors and coaches—and the women of our families.

“For those of us who are fathers, we ask for wisdom and humility in the face of the task of parenting. Give us the strength to do well by our children and by You. “In Your Holy name, O God, we pray. Amen.”

Fathers make known to children your faithfulness.

(Isaiah 38:19)

Guide fathers to be loving, Messiah.
