Prayer for dads

Father, Your Word says in Colossians 3:4 that Christ is our life. Not an add-on. Not a hobby. Not just one part of my week. Our life. There is no version of me that is truly me without Him.

But that is not how I live most days. I act like I have a church life and a work life and a home life and a private life. And the church life is what I take care of on Sundays and maybe one night a week. The rest runs on its own.

Lord Jesus, tear down those walls. Be my life in the meeting at work the same way You are in my small group. Be my life in how I drive, how I treat people, how I answer my kids on a busy school morning.

You are not one piece of my day. You are supposed to be all of me. Help me stop holding back. Help me let You be my whole life.

Amen.
