1 Peter 3:7
Omniscient God, thank You for blessing me with an earthly father who has been a reflection of Your word on a daily basis.

King of Kings, I declare that You will be the source that my father turns to in times of counsel and guidance.

I thank You for this word of encouragement; Lord, give my father the strength to remain faithful to You for You are good. Lord, You are the best source of counsel and guidance because You have his best interests at heart, Amen.

Deuteronomy 1:29-31
Wonderful Counselor, You commanded the Israelites not to be terrified, not to be afraid. The Word also says that You went before them, fought for them as You did in Egypt, before their very eyes, and in the wilderness. Lord, You carried them, as my father carried me as a child, all the way until we had reached. I pray that You continue to cover father so that he will also remember to not be afraid, Amen.

Hebrews 12:7
Oh Majesty, please give me father strength to endure hardship as discipline, I know that the hardship is You treating him as a son. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

Father, I pray that as I too grow older, I will not be content with where I am, but will seek Your discipline so that I may be a better person than I was before, Amen.

Ephesians 6:11-18
Righteous God, I proclaim that my father shall put on the full armor of You so that he can make a stand against the devil’s schemes. For the struggle is not against flesh and blood, against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. I declare that my father shall be equipped to stand his ground because he shall be covered in the full armor of You, Amen.

1 Thessalonians 2:11-12
God of Wisdom, I thank You for the life of my earthly father because he taught me so many good things that have equipped me to survive in this life.
