A fathers prayer for his children and grandchildren

June 16, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about praying without ceasing, especially for our children and grandchildren…

Here is a prayer Pastor Todd Wagner of Watermark Church in Dallas, Texas, has written this special prayer, that will encourage you this Father’s Day.

In our culture, the role of a father in a child’s life has been diminished and devalued. And if we as Christian fathers hope to buck the trend and live up to the calling God has asked of us in fatherhood, then we must pray faithfully and fervently for our children.

My prayer for you, my vision for your life, is that as a result of this gift of God’s Word:

One day you will be able to answer the most complex problems in the world with confidence.

One day you will be able to face the darkest and most difficult of circumstances with hope.

One day you will be sought out by multitudes to provide them comfort, guidance and leadership in their distress and you will be found ready, full of unfailing confidence that you can serve them well.

One day you will be able to stand firm against the passions of your flesh, unwaveringly remaining pure though all around you fall to the irresistible titillations of the moment.

One day you will be able to speak with profound insight, great courage and unwavering boldness while others are uncertain, constantly changing and consumed with the opinions of others.

One day you will be a pillar of strength for a world ready to collapse under the weight of its foolishness.

One day you will be able to stand strong when others crumble.

One day you will speak and others will be fed by the fruit, which pours forth from your lips.

One day you will be able to reveal to others what no eye has seen, no ear has heard and you will be able to unveil powerfully truths that have never entered into the hearts of man.

One day you will be able to restore souls, rejoice hearts, enlighten eyes and inform minds with perfection.

One day you will be ready to step up and lead courageously, speak out boldly, stand firm bravely, stay humble continually and serve the One true King nobly.

One day you will be blessed because you will delight yourself in the law of the Lord, and on that law you will meditate day and night. No man is wise who is ignorant of God’s word and no man is uneducated who knows the Bible’s teachings

The man who doesn’t read the Bible has no advantage of the man who has no Bible. Apply your whole self to the text…apply the whole text to yourself.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, practice it to be holy, share it to be useful. Read it through, pray it in, live it out, pass it on.

May you accept my prayer like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering!

One Walk with Jesus is about seeing others and the world from Jesus’s perspective…

Some thoughts…

from Jesus Always

The more of Me you have in your life–through staying close to Me–the more joyful you will be and the more I can bless others through you.
page 174

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20

from Daily Catholic Wisdom

"Lord, I cannot receive You now in Holy Communion, but I long to be filled with You just the same. I open myself to You completely; to Your power, to Your wisdom, to Your love. Let everything I am be transformed by everything You are. I re-consecrate this day to You so that every thought, word, and deed will be filled with Your Presence."
Erin Flynn
from Mass & Adoration Companion

A verse…

May you accept my prayer like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering!
Psalm 141:2

A reading… A psalm of David.

[1] O LORD, I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you! [2] May you accept my prayer like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering! [3] O LORD, place a guard on my mouth! Protect the opening of my lips! [4] Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies. [5] May the godly strike me in love and correct me! May my head not refuse choice oil! Indeed, my prayer is a witness against their evil deeds. [6] They will be thrown down the side of a cliff by their judges. They will listen to my words, for they are pleasant. [7] As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. [8] Surely I am looking to you, O sovereign LORD. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger! [9] Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set. [10] Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape.
Psalm 141:1-10 NET

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for all You show and teach me. For today a new day to practice what I’ve learned from You, ‘all for Your glory. For each of mine and all the blessings You give to us. For my Dad, for the memories that showed me he did love me and my brother and sisters. All though he did end well and only You know if he is with You. I hope and pray he is and that me and my brother and sisters will be made right with him in Your presence. I pray for all those with worse earthly fathers or no father at all. My Abba Father touch their souls, ease their pain and loneliness, heal them with the knowledge only Jesus can provide. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Haven Today… Hide and Seek

If the Lord is our Shepherd, why do we face hard times? If the Lord takes care of His sheep, why are we needy? The answer to these questions aren’t found in God’s protection, but His loving care. Learn more on the next HAVEN Today with Charles Morris and part 4 of a series called "Hide & Seek."

A thought…

The soul longs for what the sacraments and faith point towards—God Himself in the beatific vision. The Sacraments and Faith will pass away—they are simply means for the journey—but at journey’s end they will no longer be needed but give way to what they prepared for, God Himself.
Ralph Martin
from Fulfillment of All Desire
Daily Catholic Wisdom

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, here I am. Thank You for today, Your blessings. For each of mine. For Your Word that nourishes my walk. I continue praying for those blinded by the ways or the world lost in they’re busyness and pain. Reach out to them. As I lift them up to You in prayer asking that as I think of them today You touch them in some way, covering them with a noticeable moment of peace and comfort that will encourage them to seek You. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Savior, thank You for this new day filled with hope. For Your blessings. For each of mine. For Your Word that lights my path.
