Lord, bless our fathers. Help them to understand how important they are in the life of their children and in the upbuilding of the Kingdom. Be with the men of our church as they learn the meaning of leading and serving in the Kingdom. Fill them with your spirit and help them to understand their responsibility in the kingdom. Teach the married men to love their wives as the Bible has said. Give them the desire to live honorable lives before you. Teach them how to be the priest, protector, and provider of their homes. Restore the physical and mental health of our men. Lord, we thank you for the men of our congregation, grow them in you. Give them minds and hearts to serve in your kingdom. We pray for the younger men in our congregation that they might have the courage to reject the worlds definition of what it is to be a man and cling to your words instead. Hear our prayers, Lord. Amen
