Hearts of the Fathers to the Children

Father God, I pray that You turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children; the hearts of politicians to the people; the heart of the governors to their constituents; the heart of the mayors to their citizens. I pray for Your righteousness to reign in the hearts of men in the land and that Your righteousness would become a way of life for us Filipinos.

God, give this nation the heart of the Father. Give us a heart that loves unconditionally, the way You love unconditionally. Let the fathers of this nation rise up; let the men of this nation be the leaders that You've made them to be; let them be teachers, mentors, friends, preachers, pastors, captains, commanders, tutors, peacemakers and example-setters to their children first of all -- because it has to start at home before it sweeps the whole country.

Father, raise up godly and God-fearing men and fathers in the Philippines. Men who will put the interest of other before their own. Men who will put You first before themselves. Men who are not afraid to give up the things they want in life to give way to the things that You want in their lives. Men who will have the heart of the Heavenly Father -- willing to bless others, willing to give good things, willing to sacrifice for the greater good, willing to always set their hearts on the needs of others.

God, give us a revelation of Your heart, Father, so that we will know unconditional love at its highest form, for only when our hearts are turned to Yours can there be a true turning of the hearts of the fathers back to the children.

This I pray in the name of Your Son Jesus. Amen.
