Father, I pray for these children that are struggling with understanding why their dads are away from them. I pray that you would be a strong Christian male role-model into each of their lives...not to replace their fathers as that can never be...but to stand in the gap for them. Someone who is older, and mature that would give each of these children some of what they are missing a strong set of moral values from a man's perspective...a listening ear and responses that only men can give. Father I pray that you would keep these children on the right path and turn them around when they step off of that path either through anger, fear or simply because they miss their dads. Father become real to these children in a way that a child's mind can truly understand that when they feel lonely for their fathers they instinctively turn to you and are comforted by it. Father do this that these young ones may grow up the right way...with the right behaviors and the right beliefs. In Jesus name...Amen!
