Our culture can be tough on dads these days. If you’re a father, you might be fighting a lot of battles—for your marriage, your family . . . even for your own heart.

And finding the courage to keep fighting every day isn’t easy.

That’s why I want you to know—you are appreciated. God sees the silent sacrifices you make. The hard work you put in. The obstacles you overcome to protect the ones you love.

So I want to share this prayer of blessing with you to remind you how incredibly valuable you are. The battles you fight matter.

You can also download a copy of the prayer and print it to keep close by. If you’re not a father, I ask you to pray for the fathers or father figures in your life—then download the prayer and share it with them.

Let me share God’s faithful promise in Psalm 37:23-24 with you as well: “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand” (NIV).

God is the only perfect father there is. Though you may stumble, the Lord will uphold you with his hand—always.

May God bless you richly and fill you with his strength as you delight in him and walk in his ways.

Happy Father’s Day!

Pastor Rick
