Prayer for Our Daddy
Lord, please bless our Daddy,
the man who means so much to us,
who is greatly responsible
for who we are and who we are becoming.
Bless him for having the courage
to do what’s necessary to keep us out of trouble,
for making us do the right thing,
for helping us build our character,
even when it makes us angry;
and bless him for pushing us to do our best,
even when he just wants to love us.
Bless our Daddy for being our protector,
for leading us through stormy times to safety,
for making us believe that everything will be all right
and for making it so.
Bless our Daddy for quietly making a living
to provide for those he loves most,
for giving us food, clothing, shelter
and the other material things that really matter,
for unselfishly investing time and money in us
that he could have spent on himself.
Bless our Daddy, Lord,
for saving some energy for fun,
for leading us on adventures
to explore the outer reaches of ourselves,
for making us laugh,
for being our playmate and our friend.
Bless our Daddy, Lord,
for the unconditional love he has shown us,
Bless our Daddy Lord,
for facing this last calvary,
showing us how strong he is,
for fighting til the very end.
Bless him for being our secure foundation, our rock,
for holding on tight to us...until it’s time to let us go.
Lord, bless this man we look up to,
our role model, our hero, the love of our life,
our Daddy.
