Faithful Servant
I would like to ask you to pray for my father, as this will be a very difficult father's day for him, as it also would have been my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Last year they celebrated their 49th and she passed away on Aug. 2nd. He is going through a lot right now, time is healing the wounds, but this will be the first anniversary without her, and for it to have been their golden one, it will be really rough for him.
They married young, she was 16 and he was 17, so he is still young at 67. I just pray for him to be touched by our Father, and to be granted the peace of His presence in his life.
Father, I thank You for this man, who You chose to be my father. I lift him in prayer today, and ask for Your mercy and grace in his life. For reasons known only to You, he is facing this anniversary alone, and I ask that He would be strengthened by You as he faces this. I thank You for the years they had together, and I praise You for the commitment they had for one another. Lord, I thank You for having them be my parents, and I praise You for the love that flows through this family. Bring us all ever closer to You, and to one another. May our days be filled with praise, good memories, and devotion to You. As I say this prayer for him, could I also ask that You tell my mother that we are thinking of her as this day approaches, and send our love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
