Heavenly Father, today I mourn the loss of my dad. I thank you for the 28 years I was able to have him in my life. I thank you for the example he was to me in showing me what a follower of Christ looks like and I will cherish the many wonderful memories we had together. Help me to never forget the importance of leaving a similar legacy in the lives of my kids that my father left in me.

Lord as I sit here today I know that your word tells me that you are sufficient enough to meet all my needs however I still feel a huge void in my life. The man I looked to for wisdom and guidance isn’t here anymore. There is a sense of being alone all of a sudden, my safety net, my wingman is gone. As I look to fill this void in my life over these next months and years my prayer is that I would fill it with you and things that are eternal and can’t be taken away. Though I have temporarily lost my relationship with my earthly father I pray that my relationship with you, my Heavenly Father, would be strengthened because of it. I thank you in advance for the men you will put in my life going forward to help me and encourage me and most of all Lord I thank you that my dad’s absence is only temporary and I look with anticipation of seeing him again. Amen
