A prayer from a father to his new son
Here's a possible prayer from a father to his new son:
Dear God,
As I hold my newborn son in my arms, I am filled with a sense of wonder, gratitude, and responsibility. I pray that you will guide me as I embark on this incredible journey of fatherhood.
May I be a good role model for my son, teaching him the values of kindness, compassion, and integrity. May I be a source of comfort and strength for him, always available to listen and offer guidance when he needs it.
As my son grows and develops, I pray that you will help him to discover his passions and talents, and to use them to make a positive impact on the world. May he be a force for good, spreading love and joy wherever he goes.
I pray that my son will always know that he is loved and cherished, not just by me, but by you as well. May he feel your presence in his life, guiding him and protecting him, even when I am not there.
As I look at my son's tiny face, I am reminded of the precious gift that you have given me. I promise to do my best to be a good father to him, to support him, to encourage him, and to help him become the best version of himself.
Thank you, God, for this incredible blessing. I am humbled and grateful to be a father to this precious child.
Amen.
