Prayer

Heavenly Father, 

we ask your blessing on all fathers and father figures, 

on those we hold in our hearts, 

whom you have entrusted to love and care for us in your image.

Bless all fathers and father figures

As they care for their families. 

Give them strength and wisdom, 

Tenderness and patience; 

Support them in the work they have to do, 

Protecting those who look to them, 

as we look to you for love and salvation. 

We ask this through Jesus Christ. 

Amen
