MY FATHER'S DAY PRAYER

MY FATHER'S DAY PRAYER

By Daniel R. Ruhweza

Thank you O God for the honour to be fathers

Thank you for the gift of children

Thank you for the comfort and support of our wives

Thank you for family-near and extended

Fatherhood is your idea O God

We ask for wisdom in the decisions we make

We ask that you open up our minds to knowledge of how to lead as fathers

We ask for humility to lead with honesty and integrity

We ask for supernatural helpers and mentors to guide us as we take on the mantle of priesthood and leaders of our homes

We ask for wisdom and open gates to create wealth and provide for our families

We ask for a hedge of protection over our families, children and extended neighbourhood and nation

O Lord that you will bless us

O Lord that you will expand our territory to nation continent and world

May we be men of influence and not look on when you ask and convict us to stand up and be counted... as influencers and change agents

Forgive us Lord where we have failed in our role as husbands ... as lovers of our wives...as role models to our sons....

Forgive us for ignoring our role as Priests and Kings in our homes

We ask this congregation to forgive us for our failures ... and to support us in this call to fatherhood

We also pray for grandfathers in their new responsibility

Yes, we specifically pray for new fathers and prospective fathers

We decree and declare that our sons will be better fathers than we are 

We decree and declare that we are renewed in the call to fatherhood

We decree and declare that we shall love our wives more, honour our parents more, pray over our children deeper, and influence our communities dedicatedly

.... and we shall do all this  in Jesus' Name

AMEN
