- 1:57Speaker 1: role in that separation of the father from their children
- 2:01Speaker 1: because of anger or bitterness, because of a relationship that
- 2:05Speaker 1: did not work out. God, I pray that they will
- 2:07Speaker 1: come to repent us and realize how their actions have
- 2:11Speaker 1: hurt not only that man, but their children or child
- 2:14Speaker 1: as well. God, I acts that you release love and
- 2:18Speaker 1: you release forgiveness. God Lord, we also pray that every

- 2:26Speaker 1: presence in their children's life, good or bad. God opened
- 2:30Speaker 1: their eyes to the strength of their example, the power
- 2:34Speaker 1: of their worst and the depths of their love. Help
- 2:37Speaker 1: them God to know that their involvement does matter, that

- 2:45Speaker 1: their prayers God are shaping the next generation. God, help
- 2:49Speaker 1: them to realize the way of being a good example
- 2:52Speaker 1: and a godly example to model for their children, teaching
- 2:55Speaker 1: their sons how to be men and their daughters how
- 2:58Speaker 1: to receive love and what the example of a man
- 3:00Speaker 1: should be. And God, for those fathers who feel inadequate
- 3:04Speaker 1: or lost, remind them that they are not alone. Equip
- 3:07Speaker 1: them with your grace and your strength. Help them to
- 3:09Speaker 1: see themselves as you see them. God, capable love and

- 3:15Speaker 1: follow your example. You are the ultimate father, our aha father,
- 3:20Speaker 1: our daddy. God. God, we pray for children who long
- 3:23Speaker 1: for their father's presence, that you would comfort them. God
- 3:27Speaker 1: like only you can't fill the void. God with your
- 3:29Speaker 1: love and with your peace. Let them know God that
- 3:32Speaker 1: you are always there, that you never leave them, You

- 3:39Speaker 1: not there. And right now, in the name of Jesus,
- 3:42Speaker 1: we come against the spirit of rejection that would try

- 4:02Speaker 1: fathers beturn God toward their children. In the name of Jesus,
- 4:07Speaker 1: we pray Amen.
