Father God,
Thank You for the gift of fathers and father figures in our lives. Thank You for their strength, their love, their laughter, and their quiet sacrifices. Where we’ve been blessed by good examples, help us to show gratitude. Where there’s been hurt or absence, bring healing. Remind us today that You are the perfect Father—faithful, wise, and always near. And help each of us to reflect Your love in the roles we’ve been given. Amen.

"Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, 'Get up and eat.' He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water." 1 Kings 19:5-6

"How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands. Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed." Psalm 112:1-2

"You don’t have to know what to say. You just have to say something. He’s already listening."

Lord, thank You for making us part of something bigger than ourselves. Thank You for the body of Christ — for brothers and sisters who lift us up, walk with us, and remind us we’re not alone.

Help me see the value in others — and the value You’ve placed in me. Remind me that I have a purpose, a part to play, even if it looks different from someone else’s.

Give us unity, grace, and love as we serve You together. May our differences not divide us, but strengthen us — because we really are better together.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”

-Matthew 7:12

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified… for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” -Deuteronomy 31:6

Lord, thank You for loving me in the little things. Help me to trust that even my smallest prayers and quietest moments matter to You. Amen.
