Heavenly father,

You are a great and mighty God. There is no other name in earth or above that is greater than you. I am constantly reminded of your authority.

As I examine the earth and submit myself to the rules you have put into place help me to submit to You, the creator of the rules. I choose your plans. I choose your wisdom. I choose your leadership.

I want so bad to be a good father to my girls. Please help me to be patient. Please help me understand each of their personalities. Help me to be an example of how a man should treat a woman. Please help my girls to be patient with me. So many times I don’t know what to do when I’m faced with hard choices. Help me to have wisdom in even the smallest decisions. Help me to understand how I can balance work and family life. I feel so much pressure to provide well for our family, yet I know that wealth and possessions do not bring happiness. This is such an important time in all their lives. I have such a limited time to have my greatest influence over who they will become.

I need your guidance and your wisdom. I cannot do this on my own.

Thank you for being by my side. Thank you for promising to help me when I call out to you.

In Jesus’ name I ask these things, amen.
