Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am Sherry MACKI, and it's time for us to
go to God in prayer. And as always, I ask
that you join along with me in prayer, Oh Heavenly Father,
as we reflect on and think about Father's Day weekend,
we come before you with hearts full of gratitude and reference,
lifting off the men you have chosen and called to

(00:22):
be fathers and father figures. Lord, we thank you for
the gift of fatherhood, for every man who has carried
the weight of responsibility, who has stood in the gap
and provided with love, and guided with wisdom and protected
with strength. God, let them fill your presence. Today. We
honor the fathers who rise up early to pray over

(00:44):
their children, who work late in labor hard, not just
for bread, but to build a future, to build a
legacy of faith and courage and honor. God. Bless the
ones who wipe tears, who bandage, scrape knees, who teach
through actions. More than for the fathers who are present, Lord,
fortify them, Fill them with peace and chaos and patience

(01:07):
and the testing and joy and every day routines. Remind
them God that their quiet sacrifices never go unseen by You.
Let them know that even when they fall short, your
grace is sufficient. You are the perfect Father, and in
you they are enough. We pray for new fathers still

(01:28):
learning what it means to carry such a sacred title.
Grant them courage when they feel unprepared, and surround them
with mentors and brothers to walk beside them. We lift
up single fathers to you today, God, who carried twice
the weight with half the help, and let their hearts
be renewed by your faithfulness. For the spiritual fathers, the pastors,

(01:50):
the mentors, the teachers, those who father not by blood
but by love and by calling. God, thank you for
their steady voices. They'rewith them, and their compassion continued to
anoint them as they guide generations toward Your truth. God.
We remember fathers, fathers like my Daddy Harrison Dragnaki, who

(02:11):
have passed on, men whose laughters still echoes in our memory,
whose lessons still shape our lives. Let their legacy live
on through the love they gave and the past they cleared.
And for those whose fathers were absent or even left,
whose father be their healing, be the loving presence they

(02:33):
never had. Redeem what was broken, Restore what was lost.
Today we also pray for the children God, young and grown,
that they may honor their fathers with grace, forgiveness and gratitude,
recognizing their humanity and the heart within every man who
has tried, who has stumbled, and who has stood back up.

(02:54):
And finally, Lord, for every father under the sound of
this prayer, God, let them walk with boldness, lead with
humility and rest and the assurance that you are with them,
you are for them, and you are in them. Let
this Father's Day weekend be more than celebration. Let it
be a sacred moment of renewal, of blessing and of

(03:15):
honor and the mighty name of Jesus.
