The Emotionless Dad

May the God of hope fill You with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13 ESV

Lord God, I pray in the name of Jesus, that You would help the Emotionless Dad. Keep the Emotionless Dad under Your wings. Lord, whatever has happened to him in the past that has left him emotionless, without feeling, or unattached from his feelings, help him deal with it. If he is suffering from damaged emotions, I pray You will heal the Dad’s emotions of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Let the Dad experience the love from You that he thinks that he is missing. Feel him up with Your holy presence. Give him hope in You. Give him the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Let him experience joy, peace, and love.

Replace his coldness, distance, and unwillingness to not communicate with his family with a willingness to talk to them with gladness, closeness, and expressions of love. Lord don’t let him father out of the emptiness of his soul, but out of a renewed mind. Let him be able to show love and experience love. Let him experience the love from You that thinks he is missing. Don’t simply just let the Dad believe that because he

provides food, shelter and or clothing, that the child feels love- and that should be okay for the child. Allow him to verbally tell his seeds that he loves them, and that he is proud of any accomplishments they have made.

PRAYERS FOR THE CHILDREN

Lord, I pray You will help the child that has been raised by the Emotionless Dad, to feel loved and special as You are healing them. When the enemy comes in like a flood, You raise up a standard against them. Lord, restore and replenish the child’s soul to normal, let them know that surely goodness and mercy will follow him all the days of their life. Allow the child to have healthy and normal emotions in all situations. Lord, replace self-doubt with self-confidence; self-hate with self-love; replace anxiety with peace and joy from having an emotionless dad.
