Thank You, Lord, for my daddy and the joy he has been in my life. Thank You for the loving support he has gave me as I grew up, and for his example of godliness, patience and trust in You. Thank You, that You placed me into his family and chose him to be my father.
Continue to lead and guide him into all truth, and help him to continue to be a wonderful witness to others of Your mercy and love. May he grow in grace and continue to show forth kindness and encouragement to all he meets.
Lord, as he faces another year, I pray that You would be with him to strengthen and support him. Be his sufficiency and bless him with daily strength. May Your joy be his strength, and I pray that You would enfold him in Your loving arms, for with each passing year he is becoming more weary and less able to look after himself.
Lord, I pray that as we celebrate yet another birthday with him, that it may be a very happy time of reunion with the family and blessed fellowship with one another, and with You Lord Jesus.
Thank You Lord,
Amen.
