A Father To His Children



The LORD is like a father to his children,
    tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
For he knows how weak we are;
    he remembers we are only dust.

—Psalm 103:13-14 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Thank You that You know my every weakness and deal with me with tenderness and compassion, as my loving Heavenly Father.


You know me better than I know myself, for You are the one who knit me together in my mother’s womb—I am Your creation.

Out of Your tender compassion for me, You show me Your patience when I am impatient, You comfort me when I am sick, You pick me up when I fall, You forgive me when I repent of my sin, and You bring understanding to me of things I do not understand.

You show me that when I walk with You—submitting my will to Yours—You will set right every injustice done to me—in Your perfect timing—and give me everything I need to live my life for You.

Because You know the frailty of my flesh (this body in which I live) and the weakness of my soul (my mind, will, and emotions), You demonstrate Your tender compassion to me by not allowing me to suffer more than I can handle, as I confidently place my trust in You.


Thank You that You know my every weakness and deal with me with tenderness and compassion, as my loving Heavenly Father.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
