PRAYER

Lord, you have given ______ an earthly father who loved her dearly. Although not perfect, he has gifted her with a treasure of memories, lessons, and love that will last forever. And most of all, he has taught her something of you, her Heavenly Father. I pray that today you would bring to ______’s heart the good gifts she has received from her earthly father, and would thus be moved with gratitude toward you, her Heavenly Father. I pray that as she reflects on her Dad, that she would have a moment of insight that would give her a deeper understanding of you Lord. As she remembers his embrace, may she receive yours. As she reflects on his wisdom, may she ponder yours. As she feels his love, may she savor yours. And as she feels her Daddy’s smile, fill her with your grace and your peace. Amen.
