What are you prayers for your children? Do you pray for their future? If not, it’s time to start! I pray that generational curses would be broken over our children. That they may live whole and abundantly according to God’s blessings for their lives! That they would know who they are in God’s eyes—their Heavenly Father, regardless of whom did or did not raise them here on Earth.
This poem is a message to fathers who have chosen to not be present in their children’s lives. To mothers who don’t know how to protect your children from such pain. & To little girls and women who may have grown up feeling neglected or unloved by a father.
Please read and share this post!
To Him
Stop walking away
Stop making excuses
Because there’ll be a day
When you will be useless
She won’t want to know you
Because she doesn’t know you
She won’t want your presence
She’ll want freedom and severance
Right now, she’s confused
She feels something’s missing
She’s innocent and hopeful
And far too forgiving
Her love is a gift
That you’ve just returned
When you’re ready, she’ll be gone
Another bridge you’ve burned
Repent and pray
For the way you made her feel
And who’s to say
that God couldn’t heal.
To Her
As for you, my dear
I hope you hear this
Loud and clear:
You are not fatherless
You are complete
You are not hopeless
You are void of defeat
Your Father is mighty
He has a plan
To bring you victory
In spite of man
Know that you are loved
Even through the pain
Know that you’re enough
And you are not to blame
Hold on to the truth
In the midst of the distress
Joy is within you
And you are not fatherless.
For the Single Mom
Raising a daughter without her father comes with many challenges. Although I know that God created women and we are so very strong, I will never downplay the importance of a male figure in a girl’s life. However, it is more important to teach her that her world does not end or begin by the presence or absence of a man. God knitted her together in your womb, whole and highly favored. May she find her identity in that fact and her purpose in His promises.
As for you mama, forgive yourself. Forgive him. Move forward and be a better YOU, everyday. Don’t allow the shame of your past to kill your joy and interfere with your relationships. Pray for the strength to handle the tough situations, the wisdom to answer the hard questions, and the compassion to hold her through it all. Teach her love, live, and forgive. But also to know her worth and to pray for the discernment to know what belongs in her life and what (or who) doesn’t.
