Let Us make humankind in Our image...male and female He created them. Gen. 1:26,27
Heavenly Father,
Today we approach Your throne to ask for help for husbands and dads.
We pray husbands:
regard their own wife with concern and understanding 1 Peter 3:7
And be:
allowed to reflect -the image of God, the Father's headship 1 Cor. 11:3 and Christ's love and provision for His Church Eph. 5:25-33 - so that their wife and children are well protected (spiritually, emotionally, relationally, physically, mentally and financially) from the enemy.
the husband of 1 wife John 4:16,18; Eph. 5:24
knowledgeable and sound in faith 1 Cor. 14:35
loved, respected and honoured at home and at the city gates Est. 1:17,20; Eph. 5:33; Tit. 2:4,5; Pro. 31:23
We pray dads:
not irritate their children but instruct them, guiding and disciplining them God's way Eph. 6:4; Heb.12:10
for God has called our men folk to a life of peace 1 Cor. 7:15
We thank You Lord for them.
We ask this in Jesus mighty name. Amen
