ChurchreadersFather’s Day is a time when we remember all of our fathers. It’s also a time to reflect on the special role that fathers play in our lives, even after we’ve grown up. Many people think about how much their father loved them, but there are more ways for dads to feel connected with their daughters than simply showering them with affection and gifts.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for my daughter. Today, I ask that you watch over her as she travels to and from school.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for my daughter. Today, I ask that you watch over her as she travels to and from school. Help her to obey your laws and stay safe in the event of emergencies. Comfort her when she is sad or scared and help her to be strong when she needs it most.
I pray for God’s protection over my daughter as she goes about her day-to-day life. Help her to be wise in the choices she makes so that she doesn’t make bad decisions that could get her into trouble or hurt someone else unintentionally. Guide my daughter during difficult times so that she knows what kind of person God wants her to be in this world so that others can see Jesus through all of our actions together!
I pray for wisdom, guidance, strength & courage today: Lord give me strength!”
Protect her safety in all of her endeavors, and keep her focused on the success of all that she has set out to accomplish.
Keep each child safe and protected in all of their endeavors. Keep them focused on the success of all that they have set out to accomplish.
As parents, we just want to make sure our kids are taken care of and have everything they need…and sometimes it’s hard for us to let go! We don’t want any harm to come their way. We don’t want them getting hurt or sick or being involved in bad situations where they could be hurt emotionally or physically. But as parents, we can’t always protect our children from everything—sometimes things happen beyond our control and we just have to trust God and know that He has a plan for each one of us because He loves us so much and wants what is best for us (even if sometimes it doesn’t always feel like it).
So when you pray tomorrow night before bedtime, remember your daughter(s), but also remember all the other children who are going through similar situations right now too! Protect them all from harm…and give them strength as they face whatever challenges come their way today or tomorrow.”
Help her to shine in all of her classes, as your word says that you will reward those who diligently seek you.
In your word, God says that the father’s responsibility is to raise his children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Be a good example. You are her first teacher, so be a good listener. You are her first friend, so be a good student. You are her first leader, so be a good athlete and musician and artist and writer and cook; let your daughter see how much she can accomplish when she tries hard and perseveres through difficult times. She will learn these things from you as she follows you throughout life’s journey—and more importantly, through all eternity!
Inspire her to do well and be positive among all of the other children in her grades that she interacts with each day.

- Be a good example by being polite and respectful to others, especially your family members and friends.
- Be a leader by showing her how it’s done when it comes to doing household chores, paying attention in school, or helping out around the house when needed.
- Be a good friend by being kind and thoughtful towards everyone she meets—from family members to classmates at school—and making an effort not just for one-time acquaintances but for close friends too! This will help create lasting relationships that can last into adulthood as well!
Encourage, empower, and guide my daughter all along the way as she lives through another busy week at school.

Prayer is one way fathers can feel like they are doing something for their daughters when they can’t be there physically.

Prayer reminds us that our daughters are of great value to God, so they should be of great value to us as well. As a father, you have a responsibility to love your daughter and care for her—even when she doesn’t want it or isn’t asking for it. In fact, praying for your daughter on a regular basis will help you fulfill this responsibility better than anything else could because prayer allows you to become more familiar with God’s heart towards her. The more time and effort you put into praying for her well-being, the more likely it is that she’ll know how much she matters to both of you.
It may seem like a lot to ask of God, but he is always there for us and ready to answer our prayers. Praying for your daughter doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming either; just make sure you are consistent in doing so throughout the week. It’s an easy way for all dads out there to feel like they’re doing something positive for their daughters when they can’t be there physically (or emotionally).
I pray for wisdom, guidance, strength & courage today: Lord give me strength!
