Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank you for the fathers in our lives: biological and otherwise.
We thank you for the wisdom they taught us, the protection they provided us.
We thank you for the leadership they provided when we needed it.
Please continue to bless the father figures who surround us with love, encouragement, and support.
We pray that more men seek to follow you and obey your will, for in doing so it will strengthen our society.
Further, Father God, we pray for our nation on this Juneteenth holiday, as it has yet to overcome the legacy of slavery and segregation.
We implore your Spirit to move the hearts of men towards reparations.
We remind you of the words you gave to Amos: let your righteous justice flow like a mighty stream.
Please move this nation to rectify inequality in all forms.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
