Good Riddance to my father

[Unregistered]

Lord,

My dad is impossible. I have tried to have a decent relationship with him and it is emotionally draining and taxing. He will not get help and his family will not take responsibility for what he has done. This man chips away at my self-esteem and makes critical remarks. I do not want someone in my life that doesn not wish me well, who tries to fix their mistakes through me, and who projects their insecurities on to me. It was been 7 years Lord and I am tired!!! Others think I am heartless and that I should accept him for who he is. I am sorry Lord but because he holds the the status/role of "my father" in my life does not account for what he has said and what he has done. Wrong is wrong and I am sick of it.! I am not going to look to my father for acceptance anymore. He may mean well yes, but he is no different that the judgements cruel individuals make on people in this world. I am going to write him a good bye letter. No more !!

Sweetheart, you may be looking to the wrong Father for the approval and acceptance you need and desire. Your dad is of the physical being, but the Lord God is in realm of spiritual fulfillment. I ask you to take it to the Father God, and let Him meet your needs of being accepted and approved of, for you will find far more joy in the Lord God than you ever will in mankind.

Father God I bring this prayer partner to You right now Lord, that You may consume this heart, and fill it full of the joy, love, peace, comfort and acceptance needed and desired. I ask You Lord Jesus, to burden this dad's heart with the wrong he has shown to his children, turn the childrens hearts back to You Father, and the dad's heart back to Your children, I ask this of You Lord Jesus in Your sweet and holy name, amen.

Lord God,

I pray peace over this situation.

I pray for a softening of hearts and a yielding to your Spirit.

I pray these things in the lovely and holy name of Jesus the Christ.

Amen Liz I agree with your prayer. It is right on the mark.
