- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is time for
- 0:02Speaker 1: us to go to God in prayer, and as always
- 0:05Speaker 1: we ask that you join along with us. You know,
- 0:08Speaker 1: it's Father's Day weekend and we celebrate all of the
- 0:13Speaker 1: amazing fathers and mentors, father figures, spiritual fathers in our lives.
- 0:19Speaker 1: And you know, Father's Day weekend is always tough for me,
- 0:23Speaker 1: if I can just be totally honest, because I no
- 0:25Speaker 1: longer have my father, Harrison Drack Mackie. But what I
- 0:29Speaker 1: do have are amazing memories of my Daddy's big, beautiful smile,
- 0:35Speaker 1: talking to him on their phone every single day, him
- 0:38Speaker 1: always encouraging me if I picked up some paper off
- 0:42Speaker 1: the floor, nobody ever picked up paper as good as
- 0:44Speaker 1: I did. And so I have those fond memories of
- 0:47Speaker 1: my dad. And so today I want to pray for
- 0:50Speaker 1: those who are struggling without their dad, and then I
- 0:53Speaker 1: want to pray for those who never got a chance
- 0:56Speaker 1: to meet their father or their fathers aren't in their lives,
- 0:59Speaker 1: and certainly want to celebrate and honor all of the
- 1:03Speaker 1: amazing dads out there that are handling their business. Father God,
- 1:08Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you, God,
- 1:11Speaker 1: giving you glory, giving you honor, and giving you praise.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Thank you God for all of the amazing men of
- 1:18Speaker 1: God out there who are setting examples for their children,
- 1:23Speaker 1: who are setting examples for their nieces and their nephews.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Those that are amazing in the churches our spiritual fathers. God,
- 1:31Speaker 1: we lift them up to You, and God we say
- 1:33Speaker 1: thank you for them. We pray blessings, favor, and goodness
- 1:37Speaker 1: over their lives. And Father, I pray for those that
- 1:40Speaker 1: have a void in their lives because they're celebrating Father's
- 1:45Speaker 1: Day without their dads. Whether it's because their dad chose
- 1:49Speaker 1: out to be in their lives or because their dad
- 1:52Speaker 1: has transitioned like mine and is no longer here. Father,
- 1:56Speaker 1: help us to remember God, you are a father to
- 1:59Speaker 1: the fatherless. Help us to remember you are Daddy. God
- 2:04Speaker 1: your touch with the feelings of our infirmity. You understand
- 2:07Speaker 1: what it is to grieve. You understand loss. So Father,
- 2:13Speaker 1: I lift up every person grieving this weekend because they
- 2:18Speaker 1: don't have their earthly fathers, their natural fathers in their lives.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Help them to celebrate the memory of their father. And
- 2:27Speaker 1: for those that don't have a member to refer to God,
- 2:30Speaker 1: help them to know that they can refer to you,
- 2:32Speaker 1: the best father any person could ask for the best
- 2:37Speaker 1: example of a father. Father. You are, Daddy God. We
- 2:42Speaker 1: celebrate you, God, we honor you, and we honor the
- 2:46Speaker 1: amazing fathers. This weekend, we ask God that you cover them,
- 2:51Speaker 1: that you protect them, keep them from all hurt, harm
- 2:54Speaker 1: and danger. That you bless them, overwhelm them with your goodness.
- 2:58Speaker 1: If there's nothing broken, nothing lacking, nothing missing in their lives,
- 3:03Speaker 1: that as they pour out for their families, carrying the
- 3:06Speaker 1: families on their back, that you continue to pour into them.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Remind them who they are and whose they are. Remind
- 3:14Speaker 1: them they're sons of the Most High God, their royalty. Father.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I thank you for the strong, mighty Men of God
- 3:22Speaker 1: and our fathers in Jesus' name, Amen,
