This is my prayer
This is what I want
I want to be a Father.
I want to be a good Dad.
I want to have room in my heart for all the people you give me.
I have been wrapped up in myself.
I have been concerned for things that don't concern me.
I have been wasting time and energy on things that waste me.
Father God, I believe in you. I sense your heart for me. I get impressions of your thoughts for me. And they are unconditional in their loving intent for me.
I see that the greatest blessing is to be a blessing. The greatest thing in life is to give my heart to the people you give me. You have my heart, and you're giving it away.
I pray first for my own wife and children. That I may honour them and put them above myself. Help me to serve them joyfully. Help me be patient and understanding. Help me work hard.
God I need you to tenderise my heart. I need you ween me off the sour milk I drink of the world. I want your living water. I want to encounter the love-force that can change everything. I give you permission to ruin me for anything else. I want the purity of Jesus life in me.
Make me someone who can give and give and give. Bless and bless and bless. A father who knows how to build up his kids. Help me be like you are with me. So patient and gentle. So encouraging and genuine. You never trick me. You never patronise me. You give me security and peace unlike anything the world has to offer.
Lord, open the floodgates of my heart to pour out your perfect love. May my life be a song that is in tune with yours. Give me your eyes to see things how you see them. I surrender to you, perfect Father.
