A Prayer for Men Still Waiting to Be Called Daddy
Daddy-God,
I come before you lifting up men who are on a ttc journey to achieve fatherhood with his wife. I lift him up as he deserves to be a father; he desires to achieve parenthood. So on this day, Father's Day, I pray that you will remind him that you are a faithful Daddy, and that you've not forgotten about him. You are faithful God, and know the desire of his heart, and you have not overlooked the desire of his heart. I pray that you would give him strength today, as he's surrounded by many men and many fathers who are going to be celebrating this day with their children. I pray that as he look at those fathers with their children, you will speak to his heart in that moment. Remind him that just as you did it for that man he's currently observing interact with his child you'll do the same for him as well. Lord, I pray that he can see that moment as a testament to you being faithful, you being a good, good father and that you're not a respecter of persons. You don't show favoritism. Just as you gave the gift of fatherhood to that man, you'll give it to him as well.
Lord, I cover every man across this country, across the U.S. and I pray divine strength over them right now. Fill and renew them with strength, and fill their heart with faith. Renew their hope today, and help him to be the man and husband you've called and created him to be to his wife, and in his home. Show him how to lead, cover, protect, communicate, emotionally support, and provide for her spiritually and physically. Help his wife to be the woman and wife you've called and created her to be to him. Show her how to love, nurture, affirm, encourage and be his help-meet. I pray for their marriage-keep it strong, healthy, loving, peaceful, joyful and full of intimacy, compassion, communication, empathy, and sympathy. Remind he and his wife that you are there, you've not forgotten them, and you've not abandon them. I bind the enemy and his deceitful tactics to destroy their marriage, cause division, and make them believe the lie that they"married the wrong person," because they're temporarily struggling to conceive. I release a spirit of unity over them now. I decree that he and his wife will fight together. I decree that he and his wife will fight for their marriage during this season of waiting, more than they fight or desire for a baby. What you joined together, NOTHING will separate. Not even an infertility diagnosis! So, I bind every evil force of wickedness, every demonic force and demonic activity against their marriage in the name of Jesus! I release healing, wholeness, and restoration. They will walk this journey together, and they will be one another's strength.
I tear down feelings of inadequacy, shame, doubt, fear, worry, and anxiety due to having being diagnosed with male factor infertility. I bind them in the name of Jesus! I tear down feelings and thoughts that would try to tell him he's less than a man, or not a man in Jesus name! I tear down spirits of defeat, and worthlessness. I decree that your spirit will remind him who he belongs to, and who you've created him to be. He will walk in freedom. He will no longer walk in shame, insecurity, or emasculation.
Surround and connect him with other men who can pour into him, encourage him, help walk him through this journey to fatherhood when it gets tough. Holy spirit remind him today that he's not less of a man because he doesn't physically hold a child in his arms; hes' not less of a man because he's been diagnosed with male factor infertility. So I decree that your perspective who he is will be his perspective today. The peace of God will consume and guard his heart, mind , and soul. I decree that your word, and promises will saturate his thoughts, mind and spirit.
Thank you for giving him the desire and spirit of fatherhood in his heart. Although, he may not presently hold a son or daughter in his arms, or physically hear the coos or cries of a child, I decree that his baby is on the way to his wife's womb. I ask that you help him and his wife keep their eyes on you during this very difficult season of waiting. They will continue to seek you, and draw strength from being in your presence. I ask that you'd open doors of provision. I ask that you'd direct them, and instruct them on what to do on this journey. Connect them to the right doctor and meet every need. Order their steps Lord. Give him strength as he grieves another Father's Day of not being called "daddy." Assure him that your timing is perfect ,and that their baby is not denied or delay, as you have a perfect time appointed for the manifestation into he and his wife's life, in Jesus name!
Happy Soon-To-Be-Father's Day!
