Thank You Fathers
As we observe Father’s Day this week, may we first honor and worship our Father God. Give thanks for Father God’s gracious gift of His Son for the salvation of all.
Romans 8:15-16, “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”
John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Psalm 68:5, “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.”
Matthew 11:27, “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
Let us also honor our natural and spiritual fathers and mothers. We all suffer without fathers. Children are the main casualties. May Father God fill the gap for children in broken homes. Pray for restoration of fathers in our nation and for the Spirit of true Fatherhood to arise in revival through the Holy Spirit. Take time to thank your natural and spiritual fathers and your heavenly Father this week.
Exodus 20:12, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”
Ephesians 6:1-3, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with promise: ‘that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.’”
Malachi 4:5-6, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

We remember fellow believers who are oppressed and tortured for Christ’s sake. In communist China, Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and other parts of the word, violent radicals or oppressive communism continue to persecute and even murder Christians. |

We thank God and pray for our law enforcement. We ask the Lord for their safety and guidance as the carry out their duties with integrity.

As our children return to school, we cover them in prayer. Whether they attend public school, private school, home school, or college, we pray a special anointing over them.

There is a declaration of war in our culture against the identity of our children. Our foundational values and the preservation of identity for individuals and families through Christ as the building block of society is under attack.

Pray for financial recovery from what many economists are calling a recession. We humbly pray for a healthy economy and that integrity would be restored in leadership.
