PRAYER

Lord, you have given ______ an earthly father who loved him dearly. Although not perfect, he has gifted him with a treasure of memories, lessons, and love that will last forever.

I pray that as he reflects on his Dad, that he would have a moment of insight that would give him a deeper understanding of you Lord. As he remembers his embrace, may he receive yours. As he reflects on his wisdom, may he ponder yours. As he feels his love, may he savor yours. And as he feels his Dad’s smile, fill him with your grace and your peace. Amen.
