Personal Prayer
Praise God, the Father of all. Thank him for allowing you to call him “Abba”—Daddy. Confess your fear of seeing him as Father. Commit to seeking this attribute of God. Ask God to eliminate any barriers which complicate your ability to experience “Abba” as comforting.
For Your Family and Friends
Let go of the thoughts which hinder you from developing loving relationships with those who seek God.
For Your Church
Pray for sensitivity for those abused by fathers. Pray for ministries to develop which support their healing. Pray that as family units break down the church will be a place where people find family and the reality of God as their Father.
For the Kingdom
Pray for children who are being abused. Pray that their minds and hearts will be protected by the Father, who loves them dearly.
For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to reveal himself as a loving, welcoming Father to lost and lonely people you know.
