-God, we thank you for every father around the globe, from every tribe and nation. God, we thank you for their role as a father to their daughters, sons, grandchildren, and those grafted into their care. God, we pray that every father around the globe would fully embrace their role as a father. God help them to love their children as you love us. Creator, we pray for fathers to be planted near your streams of living water, and help them to father their children as they become better sons to the king.

-God, we pray for you to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents. God, help your fathers love their children and build meaningful relationship with them. We pray for fathers around the globe to be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Help them to seek to love the king with all their heart, soul, and strength. Help them to seek intimacy with you in the secret place, and help them to minister to their families through your spirit. Help them to be servants to their children and families. Help fathers to be faithful to every family member. Help fathers to honor every family member. Use fathers to cultivate the gifts in each family member in their household.*

-We pray for father’s relationship with the mother of their children. We pray for harmony and fellowship as they raise their children in partnership. We pray that they would be spirit led as they raise their children towards the plans you have for these children. Help them to train up their children in the Word of the Lord, so that when they are old, they will not turn from it. 

-We pray against the chains that hold father’s back from their full destiny. We pray against pornographic images worldwide. We pray against pornographic images on technology and in print, and we pray for your help in breaking these chains off of fathers globally. We pray for your spirit to lead men into accountability and change. Help them to share their struggles with other men in a judgment free atmosphere. We pray for men to work through your spirit alongside their brethren to cultivate the necessary change to rid themselves of these chains. Help them to break free from the addition of pornography, and help them to step into the destiny you have for each of them.

-We pray against the use of mind-altering and addictive substances for fathers globally. God, we come before your throne and ask for mercy and grace to help fathers make necessary separation from these addictive substances. Use whatever method you desire Lord to lead necessary change in the lives of these fathers. Thank you God.
