Father’s Day Prayer For Your Husband’s Fatherhood
Father in heaven, thank you for my wonderful husband and his effort in raising our children. I invite you to help him in this crucial role that will highly influence our children’s outcomes. Please give him the wisdom to make the right decisions regarding his children. Help him be present and available to meet his children’s needs. Let him be engaged in our children’s lives and teach them diligently. Help him to always provide for his children and have work and life balance so that he is not overwhelmed by either. Help him lead his children by setting the right example for them to emulate. Let him walk with God and teach our children the same. Give him unconditional love for his children and let him accept them just as they are. When communicating with them, please let him affirm them and build up their confidence and self-acceptance. I pray that our children perceive his love and honor him as their father. Help him bless his children and create an inheritance for them, even for their own children. Let them have a peaceful and loving co-existence, each accepting their weaknesses and loving each other unconditionally. I pray that, as a father, he never angers his children or causes them harm in any way. Give him patience and self-control, especially when the children have made a mistake, and give him the wisdom to discipline them appropriately. Co-parent our children with us so that, in the end, they will turn out the way you would want them to. Help him heal from his own fatherhood wounds and forgive him for any sin that his children could inherit. Break any curse said against him, and help him believe and see himself as a good father. My husband can do all things through Christ, who strengthens him. Help him rely on you in his fatherhood journey, and let him bless his children. In Jesus, Name, I pray.
