A Father's Day Prayer for Those Far from Their Dads - By Meg Bucher

We look to our heavenly Father for comfort today, as we miss being near our dads here on earth. Whether we are parted from our fathers by distance, divorce, or death, prayer is God’s gift of comfort. When we don’t understand, we can turn to Him knowing He holds all the answers.

Let’s Pray:
Father, praise You for our fathers here on earth. We know that you placed them perfectly and precisely in our lives. And though life doesn’t always look on this earth like we feel it should in our hearts, we trust Your perfect love, plan, and purpose. Thank You for our dads. Without them, we would cease to be. They are part of your plan for our lives.

Some dads provide for us in ways that simply amaze us. Dedicated to their families, they work countless hours to foster our happiness and dreams. Other fathers are gifted at connecting with us emotionally, guiding and encouraging us down hard paths and through difficult journeys of decision. Thank You for their faithful pursuit of You and diligence in pointing us to You, too.

Some of us don’t know who our dads are or have adopted dads with whom You have blessed our lives. Still, others of us mourn the complete loss of our fathers through death on this earth and desperately need to remember Your goodness, Lord. When Father’s Day reminds us of the gaping hole they have left in our hearts, heal any hurts we harbor, and help us to hold on to all of the love we have experienced from our relationship with them.
