A “Father’s Day 2018” Prayer for Us, Whose Country is Separating Children from their Fathers (and Mothers)
© Rev. Bert Montgomery
Lord,
We come today,
on this day
set aside to honor our fathers,
painfully aware of the children
along our nation’s border
who are being separated
from their fathers
and, from their mothers.
We pray for each child,
and each parent,
each family;
hear their weeping, God,
hear their cries for help;
and we pray that each guard
and each officer
be filled with your mercy and compassion
even as they are “doing their jobs”
to provide for their own families;
and we pray …
for the hearts …
of our leaders.
In this hour of worship,
remind us that You are still God,
thatJesusis still Lord,
that the Holy Spiritis still moving,
and that You still hold
the whole world
in your hands.
Amen.
