“What Is a Father?”

He’s strength and security; laughter and fun. A prince to his daughter; a pal to his son. A great story teller, a mender of toys; who’s seldom dismayed by his family’s noise. He’s an everyday Santa, who brings home surprises; The man to consult when a problem arises. He’s an eager a worker as there will ever be; who wants all the best for his whole family. He’s a loving Instructor, who struggles to teach; His child to achieve all the goals one can reach. And he knows in his heart that it’s worth all the bother, when he hears his child say, “That man? He’s my Father!” (~Author Unknown)

Heavenly Father, Anoint your children so that we can be most effective for your kingdom work and true to the calling you’ve placed on our lives…individually and collectively.

Father, some of your children are sick, but when the doctors fail…reinforce in their hearts and spirits that YOU, Oh Lord, are still faithful! Some are hurting, but YOU, Oh Lord, are the soothing salve needed to ease their pain! Some are in turmoil, but YOU, Oh Lord, can bring peace in the midst of life storms!

Father, in times like these, help your children to truly know that You are our joy, peace, strength and song…a very present help in times of trouble!

Father, I humbly ask that You lead, guide, provide, direct and protect us each and every day. Move in the lives of your people in a supernatural way! Meet us at the point of our most intimate need. Heal our bodies; Renew our minds; Consecrate our hearts; and Anoint us from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet! Hear the cry of your children, Oh Lord, and heal our Land!

Father…we totally surrender our hearts, minds, body and soul to You! Allow the sweet fragrance of your presence to intoxicate those we encounter daily as we Drip Jesus everywhere our feet trod! Hallelujah!

Father, Be glorified in all we say, think and do. Lord, thank You for trusting us with this Calling on our lives and for your unconditional love! In Jesus name I pray and give you all praise! Amen 🙏🏽

Heavenly Father,

Our hearts are heavy because of so much tragedy in our cities, states, nation and world…I come praying for the hearts of the lost and unchurched to be changed and for the unsaved to come into the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Father, open their eyes, ears and hearts to the truth of Christ and God’s Word. I pray that the lost will come to have God’s attitude toward sin and be released to believe. I Pray for those who are saved to truly desire a transformed life in Christ, and live to bring Him glory and honor in all they do. I pray that your children will have a desire to go into the harvest field to share Christ, serve others, and make disciple as you have instructed. Father God, in such a time as this…pour out your spirit upon all hearts searching and seeking hard after You! Anoint and Appoint preachers, teachers, prophets, and Evangelists that are truly sold-out for Christ and will represent the Kingdom in spirit and in truth!

Father God, we need your touch this morning. Touch our minds so that we think on things that are good and right in your sight. Touch our hearts so that we are in perfect peace no matter the situation. Touch our tongues so that we speak of your greatness, love, forgiveness, omnipotence and sovereignty! Touch our eyes so that we see Your glory shining through the gloomy clouds of darkness in our lives!

Father, heal and restore those hurting, sick and emotionally distraught is my prayer. Comfort those in a season of loss—no matter what that loss may be that’s causing your children pain and suffering. Comfort and cover each of us on today with an extra portion of your grace and mercy!

Father, help us to weather every storm of life in a manner that reflects your goodness and glory! Thank you, Father! We love you Father! Have your way in us and through us this day! Help us to REJOICE in your great unconditional LOVE for us! In Jesus’ name I pray…Amen 🙏🏽

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your mercies that are new to us every morning! Because of the shed blood of Jesus, who is The Christ, I know that we can live a new life free from the bondage of sin…and I THANK YOU! I ask you now, Father, to deliver your children suffering from sickness and disease, stress and anxiety, oppression and depression, helplessness and hopelessness, fear and despair. Father, allow the purifying power of your Holy Spirit to cleanse our lives from all things that dishonor you and hinder us from doing your perfect will. In the name of Jesus, we cast off every form of unrighteousness and yield our total being, Mind-Body-Soul-Spirit, to your transforming grace—You are the Potter and we are the clay! Help us Oh Lord, to trust you and walk in holiness day-by-day! Bless us Lord, so that we might be blessings to others! Strengthen us Lord, so that we might be strong even in our weakest hour! Restore your love, joy and peace in our hearts Lord, so that it will overflow onto others! Father, Help our lights of salvation to shine on others so that they will see YOU and know the true love of Christ by our living testimony! Father, our heart’s desire is for MORE of YOU…Fill us up Lord, until we overflow! This prayer I pray in the saving name of Jesus…Amen.🙏🏽
