Lord of the Highest Heavens, I need Your help. You are a perfect Father and I need You to bring restoration to my relationship with my children. I admit to the times when I have not measured up to what I should have done. I ask that You restore my relationship with them. Enable forgiveness and enable reconciliation. Help my children to recognize my contrition and my desire to honor You by being a better parent. Lord, change their hearts as much as You change mine. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
