Being a father is a calling, not just a role. Fatherhood involves wisdom, emotional fortitude, spiritual depth, and selfless love in addition to bodily presence. Many fathers do not ask for applause, but today, we choose to celebrate them with intentionality and love. And there’s no better way to honor them than through the power of prayer. By praying for them, we lessen their burdens, honor their accomplishments, and prophesy happiness, strength, and prosperity for the future. We speak life over who they are, support over their paths, and healing over their scars.
