“Father, no one sees the miracle of your love for me except you. I’m an ordinary person, not very bright or educated or strong, but I want to do something for you. You’ve always given me so much. Now I am ready to work for you.”

When I was a little girl, I used to pray every night for my father.

I would pray that he would be safe and warm, and that he would get the things he needed. If he had been hurt on the job, or if he was sick in bed, I would pray that God would take care of him. And then, as soon as I’d finished praying for him, I would pray for myself: “Please let me grow up to be just like my daddy.”

My father is a good man—a kind man who loves his family and works hard for us every day. He’s a hard worker who tries his best to make sure we have everything we need. And even though he works long hours at his job and sometimes gets tired from working so hard all day long… whenever he comes home from work at night, he always smiles at me with such joy in his eyes.

Whenever he sees me playing with my toys or doing something fun on the playground at school (or even just sitting quietly reading a book), my father always picks me up off the ground and gives me a big hug and kiss before saying goodbye again until tomorrow morning when we see each other again.

A Daughter’s Prayer For Her Father

Lord,

• Lord,
• I pray for my father who has passed away.
• I pray for the fathers of this world who are not given their due credit and respect as fathers and leaders.
• I pray that each daughter finds a man like mine was to me: strong, kind, faithful, loving and giving.
• And most importantly, when she is blessed with her own children…I pray that they will grow up knowing how much they are loved by their daddy – just as much as he loves his wife!

I Pray for My Dad Today.

• I pray for my dad today.
• My father was a good man and he loved me with all his heart, even when it was hard to do so.
• He worked hard to support me and my mom, even though he didn’t have an easy time finding work when we first came to America from Nigeria because of his limited experience there (he had been an engineer back home).
• Even though he didn’t get much time off work, he always seemed happy when I returned home after spending the day with friends or at school and would always ask about what we did together during our time apart (this was before social media became popular), which made me feel special because not many dads are like that nowadays!
• When I think about how lucky I am for having such a special father by my side throughout my childhood years up until now into adulthood – it makes me appreciate what life has given me thus far more than ever before…and reminds me never take things for granted again.”

May he be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

• May he be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. (1 Timothy 1:5)

Help him to live a life worthy of You and pleasing to You in every way.

• Help him to live a life worthy of You and pleasing to You in every way.
• Help him to be thankful for the many blessings that have come his way, and help him not to take anything for granted.
• Teach this man of God to bear fruit in keeping with repentance by setting the example for others through his own repentance and obedience.

Strengthen him with Your power by Your Spirit so that he is essential to You, Lord.

Father,

Strengthen him with Your power by Your Spirit so that he is essential to You, Lord.

When my father gets up in the morning, give him strength and courage to face another day. Give him peace so that he can focus on his work well rather than worrying about things beyond his control or responsibility.

Fill him with joy every day of his life because you have given him a daughter who loves and appreciates him very much.

I pray that his love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight so that he may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.

The Bible is filled with examples of fathers and their importance in the development of a child. In fact, there are entire books written on this subject: Proverbs, James and Hebrews all refer to fatherhood as a spiritual role that is essential for the family unit. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible calls men who take their roles as leaders seriously “good” or “wise” fathers (Proverbs 1:8; 6:20-23).

Fathers also provide guidance for their children by setting an example through their own lives as well as by teaching them about God and His Word (Deuteronomy 6:4-7).

Prayer is one way we can show our love for others who have been entrusted into our care—including our dads! When we pray for someone else’s needs or concerns we put ourselves in God’s hands so He can work out His plan in ways we might not expect.

So thank you Dad! I pray that your love will abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight so that you may be able to discern what is best–and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ Jesus when He comes again!

I pray that he will always be filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God. Amen!

Father, thank you for hearing my prayer. I pray that you will fill my father with the Fruit of Righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the Glory and Praise of your Name. Amen!

Prayer changes things. When we pray for people, we are actually speaking life into them! This is something that has made a huge difference in my life when it comes to those who I love and care about most – especially when it comes to having a relationship with God.

a fathers blessing prayer

Heavenly Father,
Today we ask You to bless our earthly fathers
for the many times they reflected the love, strength, generosity, wisdom and mercy that You exemplify in Your relationship with us, Your children.

We honor our fathers for putting our needs above their own convenience and comfort;
for teaching us to show courage and determination in the face of adversity;
for challenging us to move beyond self-limiting boundaries;
for modeling the qualities that would turn us into responsible, principled, caring adults.

Not all our fathers lived up to these ideals.
Give them the grace to acknowledge and learn from their mistakes.
Give us the grace to extend to them the same forgiveness that you offer us all.
Help us to resist the urge to stay stuck in past bitterness,
instead, moving forward with humility and peace of heart.

We ask your blessing on those men who served
as father figures in our lives
when our biological fathers weren’t able to do so.
May the love and selflessness they showed us
be returned to them in all their relationships,
and help them to know that their influence
has changed us for the better.

Give new and future fathers the guidance they need
to raise happy and holy children,
grounded in a love for God and other people –
and remind these fathers that treating their wives
with dignity, compassion and respect is
one of the greatest gifts they can give their children.

We pray that our fathers who have passed into the next life
have been welcomed into Your loving embrace,
and that our family will one be day be reunited in your heavenly kingdom.

In union with St. Joseph,
whom you entrusted with Your Son,
we ask Your generous blessings today and every day.

Amen.

prayer for my father who passed away

Righteous One, Your Word says that those who mourn are blessed because they are comforted. How is this, my gracious God? I do not feel blessed or comforted right now. Lord, I am mourning. My father has died and I cannot bear the thought of this world without him. I pray that Your divine comfort reaches my heart and fills me with Your peace. Lord, I love and adore You. I believe Your Word, but I just don’t feel Your comfort. I pray against the plans of the enemy to keep me in my sadness and mourning. I know that You are my God. I know that Your Word tells me that You are the God of every good thing. Convince my heart, oh Lord, that my joy is in You. Show me that my peace is in You. Have Your define way in me, Lord. This I pray. Amen.

Prayer for Hope
Lord, I mourn right now at the loss of the person I loved intensely – my father. I thank You for blessing me with him. I thank You for giving me hope in this sad time. We were buried with You in baptism into death, so that just as You were raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in the newness of life. Thank you for allowing my father to live again in perfect peace in Your kingdom. I pray that this hope comforts my family and I during this difficult time. Amen.

Prayer for Comfort in Knowledge of Reunification
Dear God, we wait for the time You come again. We magnify Your name because it is You who will change our lowly body to be like Your glorious body, by the power that enables You to subject all things to Yourself. Father, we thank You because we know that our father who has passed is with You in his glorious body in heaven. So, we thank You because we know that his death on earth is not the end of his life. Lord, we find comfort in knowing that we too will get the opportunity to be with You in heaven and reunite with our earthly father. Amen.

Prayer for Strength
Eternal Savior, I will not fear for You are with me! You are my God, Your Word declares that You will strengthen me and help me. Lord, You see my heart, mind and soul. I ask that You strengthen each area of me as I struggle to stay strong after the passing of my father. Lord, please uphold me with Your glorious right hand! I pray that Your divine strength keeps me all the days of my life. I pray that Your Word surrounds me and resonates in my heart during this hard time. Lord, I love You, adore You, and need more of You right now. Amen.

Prayer to Feel God’s Love
Dear Lord, we are convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of You, which is in Christ Jesus. Lord, even though we have lost our father, we have not lost Your love and neither has he. So, we thank You for Your love, which surpasses all things. We bless You that Your love is our comfort as we mourn. Lord, we pray that Your love envelopes our family so that we do not become broken and bitter by the pain that we feel right now. In Jesus’ almighty name. Amen.

Prayer for Peace
Father, honestly, right now my heart is troubled. But Your Son tells me that in Your house are many rooms. If this weren’t true, He would not have told us so. Nor would he have told us that He was going to prepare a place for us there. Your Son also said that He will return and take us with Him so that we can be where You are. Lord, I know that my father is with You in heaven. I thank You that a place was prepared for him there. Lord, I pray that the idea of my father living eternally with You brings peace to my heart. Amen.
