A Dad's Prayer For His Family


Lord of Heaven and Father of us all
Show Your favor unto my family.
For You have indeed given us so much.
Thank You for the protection of this house;
We are grateful for the warmth of the hearth,
For the nourishment of our daily bread,
And the shoes we wear when so many lack.
Give us also food that comes from heaven-
The Word of the Spirit that feeds our souls.
Fill our hearts with the joy of salvation,
Clothe us in the robe of Christ's righteousness,
And fill our ways with Jesus' character.
Give us such a love for one another
Which mirrors your enduring love for us.
Counsel us in our every decision,
That our choices may turn us to your will.
Protect us in the hour of danger,
And deliver us when we are tempted.
Keep us from the evils of this world,
And make us to be a positive force.
May we each do works of righteousness.
Forbid any to bring sin through our door.
Let us feel Your presence in our home;
Abide in the laughter at our table,
Make our home like an island of heaven,
And a refuge to any here on earth

PRAYER FOR MY BOYS

Prayer For My Boys


Father God, God of Fathers,
You know I love my sons,
I know you love them more.

I don’t ask for them success
Or fame,
Or fortune.
I don’t ask for them good schools
Or careers,
Or advancement.
I don’t ask for them ease
Or comfort,
Or luxury.

I ask for them this one thing
Better than all the rest.
What You alone can give.
I ask, Heavenly Father.
That they grow in the Favor of God
All the days of their lives.

Adron

DADDY'S POEM, FOR MADDY

I wrote this poem for my daughter many years ago. she is now all grown up.

Daddy's Poem,
 For Maddy


I wish you would stay nine forever.
I would brush your hair every morning
For a half hour
And you would pick out my tie.
If you would stay nine forever
I would throw kisses through the window
As you go to school
Each morning.
If you would stay nine forever
I would tickle you to bed
Every night.
I know you will not stay nine forever
But you have made me nine
Over and over again.
