For the Blessing of Parents
Lord God,
I thank you for the blessing of parents. Through mothers and fathers, you intend to provide a safe and stable environment in the home to raise up families. Parents who are present and attentive to the needs of their children are a gift. Through parents, continue to provide direction and discipline to children as they navigate the increasingly challenging demands of growing up in a wayward society.
Above all, use parents to nurture the faith of children. Let fathers own up to the important role of being spiritual leaders. Through mothers, display Jesus-like love and compassion. Create healthy habits in the home that feed faith and support sanctified living. Make weekly worship a non-negotiable priority, that children may build healthy connections and relationships with their church family. Use those relationships to ultimately strengthen their relationship with you as well. Thank you for parents. Richly bless all that they do for families.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
