Bride's Prayer: No Dad to Walk With

Perhaps you don't have a relationship with your father, maybe your father is too sick to travel to where your wedding is, maybe your father passed away and you are heart broken that you won't get the traditional image of being walked down the aisle with your dad.

Of course there is always the ability to walk down the aisle with a man who has been a father figure like a step dad, to walk with your brother, or a friend who was like your brother, or even walk with your mother.

However, I want to emphasize that we all have a heavenly father who is with us at all times. That even if you walk down the aisle by yourself, you aren't alone.

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? - 1 Corinthians 3:16

We can always count on God to be there even when those we count on on this Earth may not be there. You may be hurt by the father who renounces you or saddened by the father who you love dearly and cannot physically be around any longer, but with God you never have to be hurt or sad.

. . . for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” - Hebrews 13:5

The Prayer:

God, I am so thankful to be able to call you Father. You are enough to be the one to give me strength. Help me to focus on what I do have and who I am blessed by rather then what I have lost and been hurt by. I pray that my earthly father is with you (in his heart/in heaven). While the situation I am in makes me sad, I know you are there.
