Read 1 Thessalonians 1–5.
For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live lives, worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
1 Thessalonians 2:11–12
Dear God,
Thank you for being such a good Father. What an example you are. Thank you for the gift of my earthly dad, who is patient, encouraging, comforting, and loving. Today, I pray for all people who haven’t experienced the love, patience, encouragement, or comfort of an earthly father. I pray they read your words and lean in to all our heavenly Father’s promises. You are so good. I pray all come to know you so we can all be together in eternity. Help me to bring people to you. Use me, Lord.
I love you, Papa.
