I NTRODUCTION
D ads, we have a high calling from God. While it s a joyous calling, it s also a perilous calling, fraught with unexpected circumstances, emotional outbursts (sometimes from the kids too), and a clash of personalities ( Are we sure this is our kid? ).
This joyful but perilous journey through fatherhood is a one-day-at-a-time trek. It s also, along with motherhood, the ultimate on-the-job-training (OJT) assignment in life. We learn as we do. That means successes and failures along the way, with lots of fun and laughs, but sometimes tears and heartache.
But then growing up is an OJT process for our kids too. They ve never done this before, and from their point of view, it s perilous for them as well.
Thank God that He gives dads a powerful resource in prayer. No matter where we are on the fatherhood map, prayer is a great option. Daily prayer. Of course, we re busy men. We always have our jobs or chores from the honey-do jar or church work beckoning us. But no matter how busy we are, our family is our first priority, right after our relationship with our Father in heaven.
We simply can t allow ourselves to be too busy to pray. For that reason, I hope this book of short prayers will help jumpstart your daily intercession for your family. Yes, the prayers are short, but they don t end with an amen. That s because I hope as you pray the words written on the page, you ll continue beyond the final sentence and add a few words of your own. Take what I ve suggested and personalize it for your particular family situation.
Preceding each prayer is a short exhortation about the day s topic. Some of the more crucial topics are repeated for reinforcement.
Dads, to be a father is to be blessed by God. Enjoy your blessings, every day, no matter what.
P ROTECTOR
I will say of the L ORD , He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.
P SALM 91:2 NKJV
O ne of the primary roles we dads have is that of protector. Our children need to see in us a refuge and fortress. They need to be able to trust us to protect them as a means of learning how to trust their heavenly Father for His divine protection. The necessary protection may be physical, spiritual, psychological, or it might be related to an individual child s specific needs. How do your children need your protection?
Lord God, I love the children You ve entrusted to me. I d protect them with my life if need be. But I know there are other ways for me to protect them too: against the fiery darts of the Enemy, against the pull of the world on their hearts, against inner wounds I may know nothing about.
Father, as the designated protector of my kids, I need You to help me keep my eyes open to all sources of danger to their bodies and their souls. And as I stand guard over them, please, stand guard over me. Be my refuge from danger, just as I am their refuge. I trust in You, Lord in You alone.
L OVING M Y C HILDREN
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
J OHN 3:35
B uilt into every dad s heart is a natural love for his children. But as Christian dads, we have an additional resource: we can love them with the love of God. We can see our children as God s children too. That realization awakens in us a glimpse of love that is deeper than earthly paternal love-as important as that is.
Lord, I love my children as much as any human dad. But that s not enough for me. I want to love them the way You love them. The way You love me. And the best way to do that is for You to love them through me. I pray You ll let me see past their disobedience, past their immaturity, past their many lapses in judgment, and allow me to see them and accept them just as they are-for that is surely the way You love me.
Lord, show Your love to my kids through me.
A S T HEY A RE
Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
J OHN 13:1
B ecoming a father is one of the major thrills in a man s life. Sometimes God surprises us with children who aren t what we expected. We re quiet and they re loud, or we re loud and they re quiet. We love sports, and they want to take piano lessons. The challenge for every dad is to perceive
