Thank you God for such an amazing privilege. But now I really need you. Please give me wisdom, love, strength and patience.
Research carried out by the Church of England in 2008 showed that an overwhelming number of dads - 88% - felt that they were responsible for the spiritual care of their child. More dads than mums in fact.
Dads clearly want to accept a responsibility not only for the physical and financial well-being of their child, but also for their spiritual well-being.
That may sound somewhat overwhelming. Being a parent can sometimes seem overwhelming! But your child will value and be nurtured by simple things, such as pausing to appreciate God's creation, or sharing a simple bedtime prayer.
As you pray for wisdom, love, strength and patience to nurture your child, we hope that sections here, and throughout this website will encourage you.
