Sometimes it seems like we forget about dads. But fathers are so important! There are so many terrible statistics out there that show what often happens when a family doesn’t have a father around. If you are one of the many people whose dad is either not around or not showing you the godly love that he is supposed to, just know that you don’t have to be a statistic. The Bible says that God is our Heavenly Father. And there is nothing that can separate you from the love of your Father God. Our earthly fathers, and the godly men that God has placed in our lives, help to show us a small part of what God’s love for us is like. Dads are awesome!

Bible Verses:

  • Ephesians 6:4 | Dads guide us in the Lord.
  • Psalm 103:13 | Dads show us compassion, like God does.
  • Proverbs 4:1-2 | Dads give us wisdom.
  • Matthew 7:11 | Dads give us good gifts.
  • Psalm 68:5 | God is the father to the fatherless.

Family Time Questions:

  • What makes dads so awesome?
  • How can we show appreciation for our dads or father figures?
  • What’s something you’ve learned from your dad or a father figure?
  • How does God show His love for us as our Heavenly Father?

Prayer:

“Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for our dads and father figures. Help us to learn from them and honor them. Bless them and guide them in Your ways. And thank you for being our perfect Father in heaven. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
