Inside of every woman,, there is a little girl who cries out, "Look at me, daddy! Look what I made! Look what I can show you!" We joke around about princesses and the beauty being rescued by her prince. I'm not trying to sound like any John or Staci Eldridge book, but it's a harsh reality that cloaks our generation. For goodness sakes, where are the fathers? Where are the "daddy's"? A child looks at their father as a reflection of their heavenly father instinctively from birth. Dad's are the heroes! But what if dad has left? He is gone? Did God leave, too? What if dad is there but is distant? Is that how God is? What if there was abuse either done by "daddy" or by another? If by another, where was daddy? Where was God? Where IS God? Our generation is growing up fatherless, either physically, mentally, emotionally or all of the above. What is happening in our generation? Is there not a lack of love? Why are the bodies of so many young girls wasting away, teeth rotting out and the unfathomable scars of the slicing and cutting to distract from the pain of the human heart. Why are so many oppressed? God, please set the captives free! Bring us the spiritual fathers and mothers for this generation that are so desperately needed. Stop the cutting, the eating disorders, the suicide, the homosexual lifestyle, the violence and rage of this generation. Bring the love of the FATHER to the hearts of the children. Take away the guilt and shame that keeps these things so hidden, God. Things that lurk in darkness for years. The lies that linger and whisper death every day. Call us to yourself. Teach us how to love.
Father, we call on Your Name. Father... our Father...
Help us, God.

Amen Roxy. May God cause natural fathers to rise up and contend for their children, and may He be the Father to the fatherless.
God's blessings be on you as you contend for this generation.
There is a deep need for spiritual fathers and mothers in our gen.
