Becoming the Father God Says I Am

I choose to glorify God in my role as a father. I choose to live a godly life before my family.

I am committed to live a life that honors God. With God’s help I will live a model Christian life before my children. I will be faithful to mentor them in the ways of God. I will be faithful to teach them, by instruction and example, the laws and precepts of God’s Word. I will not provoke my children to wrath. I will discipline with God’s love in my heart. I will be consistent and fair when disciplining my children. I will be careful to use God’s Word as the cornerstone and benchmark of all our family’s discipline. It will be our standard of how we conduct our lives.

 I am loving, caring, and compassionate toward my children. I keep my cool during times of stress and do not become frustrated and lose my temper. I am patient and understanding and do not jump to conclusions. With God’s help, I incorporate into my relationships with my children just the right balance of worship, work, and play.

If I do something that is wrong or offensive, I am quick to repent. Because I live a spirit-controlled life, I am peaceful, consistent, and faithful. I walk in love at all times, and I am quick to provide encouragement and inspiration to my children.

 I accept my responsibility as a father to guide, guard, and provide leadership to my family. I am anointed of God in my role as a father under God’s direction.
