Things I Wish My Father Knew (The End) Dad, God is Your Father

Perhaps after sharing

these thoughts,

you, dads, have found yourself

growing closer

to the Heavenly Father

with who you have already

established a relationship.

Or, maybe, you have come

to a realization

that you do not yet have

this close personal tie

with the Heavenly Father.

You can know Him!

Not as God way up there,

but a Father who wants

a close, caring,

personal relationship

with you as His child.

You commit your life to Him

as His child.

He commits Himself to you

as your Father.

There are responsibilities,

but the joys are unlimited!

You can establish

Such a relationship

By having a conversation with Him,

A personal, one-to-one prayer.

Pray below prayer as a model

to help you express

your heart desire:

Dear God,

I confess that I am a sinner,

unworthy of Your love.

Please forgive my sins

and cleanse my heart

from all sinfulness.

I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ,

died on the cross for my sin

and that He rose again

so I might have eternal life.

I need Your forgiveness,

Your cleansing,

Your love,

Your wisdom,

That I may become

a godly father –

one who is pleasing to You.

I ask You to become

the Lord and Master of my life

and to help me guide my family

in the pathway that leads

to eternal life.

                                                                                                                                         

Thank you for being my Father

and for the privilege

of being a father myself.

I pray this in the name of the Father,

the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
