Our Father, My Father

When Jesus was teaching us to pray, he said, "Our Father.....  He's my father.  I am fortunate to have a good earthly father who loves and provides for his family and who is not perfect.  But I have a God who is my heavenly Father who loves me and provides for my needs and is perfect.  If my earthly Father would do me no harm then I know my heavenly Father never would. 

Lord today I pray for those who did not have an earthly father who was there to meet their needs, to protect them from harm.  I pray especially for the one who hears that You are his Father and cringes in fear remembering the earthly father who brought pain to his/her life.  Lord, wrap them today in Your arms of love so that they may feel the love of a father the way You meant for it to be.

Thank You, for giving me a father who, even before he knew You, was an example of Your love for me.
