Prayer for dads

Father, Your Word says that everyone who puts faith in Jesus is Your child. Everyone. Not just the ones I like. Not just the ones who think like me. Everyone. Soften the way I rank people in my head. The brother at church who gets on my nerves — he is Your child. The relative whose faith looks messy to me — Your child. The colleague whose opinions push me away — I may not know what is in his heart, but I know You love him. Tear down the walls I build to feel comfortable. By dinner today, let me treat someone as a sibling that I usually treat as a stranger or an enemy. Amen.
