Gracious Father,


Please bless your children who are reading this by reminding them throughout the day how much you love them and who they are in you.

You created them in your own image to be your much-loved children. You are the perfect Father, much better than any earthly father. They were not a mistake; you determined the exact times of their births and were glad when they were born. You knitted them together in the womb, numbered the very hairs on their heads and determined where they would live. You continue to treasure them even now, no matter how they feel or what they believe.

When troubles seem poised to destroy, you rescue and comfort them.

You are not distant and angry, instead you watch and ponder their every action because you love them unconditionally and delight in them. You desire with all your heart and soul to establish and bless them and moment by moment you protect them from the evil.

Please give my friends eyes to see who you are and to understand their identity in you. Bless them in Jesus’ name, amen.
