Beloved of All
Father, bless my Dad with every blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3), specifically wisdom and revelation, strength & knowledge of his calling (Eph 1:17-20). I ask for creative ways to honor him (Eph 6:2-3). I pray that God grants him wisdom (the principle thing, Prov 4:7), faith, hope, love (the greatest of these is love), 1 Cor 13:13), joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control (against which things there is no law, Gal 5:22-23), contentment (with which godliness is a means of great gain, 1 Tim 6:6), the 66 Books of Scripture (Deut 8:3, Ps 119:160, John 17:17, 2 Tim 3:16), encouraging news (Prov 25:25), & godly entertainment (Ps 101:3). Help him to rule over his household (1 Tim 3:4-5), financial matters (Matt 25:14-30) and to be able to take advice when it’s correct (Ecc 4:13). Protect him from deception and lies (Prov 30:8), help me tell him some good jokes (Prov 17:22), and may Your will be done in His life (Matt 6:10). Protect him from temptation, evil, evil people and the evil one himself (Matt 6:13, Luke 11:4, John 17:15, 2 Thes 3:2-3). May the evil one not touch him (1 John 5:18). I ask the same for my descendants AND the descendants of everyone who prays for this, that Your Holy Spirit and Word will continue with them forever to many generations or as long as You should tarry (Isaiah 59:21). Thank you in the name of Jesus.
