I will guide you in the way of wisdom and I will lead you in upright paths. when you walk, your steps will not be hampered, and when you run, you will not stumble.

– proverbs 4:11-12

heavenly Father, bless all fathers as they care for their families. give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to You for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender. Amen.
