Like as a father pities his children,
so the Lord pities them that fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
- Psalm 103: 13-14

And you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath;
but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
-Ephesians 6: 4

Heavenly Father,

You are the supreme and eternal model for all earthly fathers. On this day when we honor our fathers, we ask You to help us to honor You first with our lives. You are perfect, Father God. Though our earthly fathers may fail us, yet You never leave us nor forsake us. You love Your children so completely, so eternally, and so much more than we can imagine or think. Thank You, Abba Father, for being more than enough for us all.

Lord, we ask You to bless fathers this day with the desire to be the spiritual leaders of their households. We pray that they would rise up and be the godly compass for their families---showing them the ways of righteousness. May they provoke not their children, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. And may they love their wives as Christ has loved the Church and has given Himself for it. We come against every lie that is circulating against fatherhood in this nation and we pray for Your truth and Your will about the need for fathers to prevail.

Thank You for Your hand on President Trump’s life this past week, Lord, and for the success You afforded him as he dealt with the North Korean leader. May our President continue to grow in grace and in knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and may he safely trust in You for every decision he must make. Father, as his enemies continue to rise up against him, we confess that You will never cease to be his shield, his strength, and his strong tower. We say in Jesus’ Name that no weapon formed against him shall prosper!

Father, we commit our military men and women to You knowing that many are separated from their children. Strengthen those who are headed for deployment. Lord, our hearts go out to these brave young people. We know that You will care for them and that Your shield and banner will go before them.

Lord, please call the men of this nation to rise up and follow You as they seek to protect and provide for their families. And may Your Name be glorified in all of our lives both now and evermore. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Faith of Our Fathers

Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious Word!

Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto Thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.

Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife;
And preach Thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.

Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

Psalm 147

1 Praise the Lord!
How good it is to sing praises to our God;
for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken-hearted,
and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The Lord lifts up the downtrodden;
he casts the wicked to the ground.

7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
make melody to our God on the lyre.
8 He covers the heavens with clouds,
prepares rain for the earth,
makes grass grow on the hills.
9 He gives to the animals their food,
and to the young ravens when they cry.
10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his pleasure in the speed of a runner;*
11 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who hope in his steadfast love.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates;
he blesses your children within you.
14 He grants peace* within your borders;
he fills you with the finest of wheat.
15 He sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool;
he scatters frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down hail like crumbs—
who can stand before his cold?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them;
he makes his wind blow, and the waters flow.
19 He declares his word to Jacob,
his statutes and ordinances to Israel.
20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation;
they do not know his ordinances.
Praise the Lord!

Amen, Faith

Joining in prayer for our beloved America, for fathers and mothers and children, husbands and wives, our leaders—especially President Trump, our military who put their lives on the line to keep us save.

May revival spark in the hearts of God’s people and ignite another Great Awakening in our land.

In Jesus Name
Amen
