House of Israel/Lighthouse Ministries Daily Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
You are Father of the Fatherless...
A father of the fatherless,
a defender of widows,
is God in His holy habitation.
Psalm 68:5
I pray for those who have a void in their lives where a father's love should be present.
I pray for those who have never known a father, those whose fathers abandoned them, those whose fathers may be away for an extended time, those whose fathers are no longer living, those whose fathers are too busy for their family, those whose fathers are abusive…whatever the reason, I pray for You to be their loving Father of the fatherless.
I pray that each of them, and even those who have a good earthly father in their lives, will look to You as their generous and kind heavenly Father who created us and who loves us unconditionally.
You are our Heavenly Father who loves us eternally and who cares enough to correct Your wayward children, to speak to our hearts, and to guide us by Your Holy Spirit and by Your Word.
Out of your Fatherly love for us, You sent Your only Son, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins.
Your arms are open wide to embrace us as you run to us when we turn to You, as Jesus taught us...
And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, ran, and fell on his neck, kissing him.
Luke 15:20
May we all know You as our loving Heavenly Father, the Father to the Fatherless, and may we know Your strong embrace today.
In the holy name of Jesus, I pray,
Amen.
