The Spineless Dad Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD Your God who goes with You. He will not leave You or forsake You. Deuteronomy 31:6
Lord, I pray for the Spineless Dad. This is the Dad who has the truth and knowledge in his mouth, but because he is fearful of his wife, girlfriend, or mother, he is unable to do what he must do as a parent. Bless the Dad that is spineless with a spine, to be able to make decisions concerning his household and children. Let him not be afraid of an overbearing wife or women in his life who may stop him from taking the stance he needs to take. I pray You give the Spineless Dad the courage and confidence to stand up for the rights of his children. Stop the behavior of the Dad from being weak and jelly backed. Lord, give him courage and not fear, to know that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. Lord don’t let him see himself as a grasshopper, but as a mighty man of valor. Lord, if the Spineless Dad is spineless because he is quiet by nature, or has a gentle nature or spirit, allow him to speak the truth when necessary. Don’t allow him to continue to be quiet when someone hurts him. Lord, I pray that the Spineless Dad’s wife, girlfriend, baby momma be quiet as you work to change his behavior. If 93
