  Speaker 1: I am Sherry MACKI, and it's time for us to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I ask
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer, Oh Heavenly Father,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: as we reflect on and think about Father's Day weekend,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we come before you with hearts full of gratitude and reference,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: lifting off the men you have chosen and called to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: be fathers and father figures. Lord, we thank you for
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the gift of fatherhood, for every man who has carried
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the weight of responsibility, who has stood in the gap
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and provided with love, and guided with wisdom and protected
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with strength. God, let them fill your presence. Today. We
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: honor the fathers who rise up early to pray over
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: their children, who work late in labor hard, not just
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: for bread, but to build a future, to build a
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: legacy of faith and courage and honor. God. Bless the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: ones who wipe tears, who bandage, scrape knees, who teach
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: through actions. More than for the fathers who are present, Lord,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: fortify them, Fill them with peace and chaos and patience
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and the testing and joy and every day routines. Remind
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: them God that their quiet sacrifices never go unseen by You.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Let them know that even when they fall short, your
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: grace is sufficient. You are the perfect Father, and in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you they are enough. We pray for new fathers still
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: learning what it means to carry such a sacred title.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Grant them courage when they feel unprepared, and surround them
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: with mentors and brothers to walk beside them. We lift
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: up single fathers to you today, God, who carried twice
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the weight with half the help, and let their hearts
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: be renewed by your faithfulness. For the spiritual fathers, the pastors,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the mentors, the teachers, those who father not by blood
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: but by love and by calling. God, thank you for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: their steady voices. They'rewith them, and their compassion continued to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: anoint them as they guide generations toward Your truth. God.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: We remember fathers, fathers like my Daddy Harrison Dragnaki, who
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: have passed on, men whose laughters still echoes in our memory,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: whose lessons still shape our lives. Let their legacy live
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on through the love they gave and the past they cleared.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And for those whose fathers were absent or even left,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: whose father be their healing, be the loving presence they
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: never had. Redeem what was broken, Restore what was lost.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Today we also pray for the children God, young and grown,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that they may honor their fathers with grace, forgiveness and gratitude,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: recognizing their humanity and the heart within every man who
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: has tried, who has stumbled, and who has stood back up.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And finally, Lord, for every father under the sound of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this prayer, God, let them walk with boldness, lead with
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: humility and rest and the assurance that you are with them,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you are for them, and you are in them. Let
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: this Father's Day weekend be more than celebration. Let it
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: be a sacred moment of renewal, of blessing and of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: honor and the mighty name of Jesus.
