Faith for the life you’re actually living

The Best Gift for the Man in Your Life Has Nothing to Do With Money

The most powerful thing you can do for the man in your life this Father's Day isn't something you can buy. Grab the free Prayers for the Dads We Love bundle and cover him in prayer that reaches where gifts never could.

Father's Day is coming, and if you're like most people I know, you've probably already started the mental scroll. What do you get the man who has everything? What do you give the dad who says he doesn't want anything? What do you do for the father figure in your life who means so much, but somehow a gift card feels completely wrong?

Here's what I want you to hear today: the most powerful thing you can do for the man in your life has nothing to do with what you spend. It has everything to do with how you pray.

That's why I created Prayers for the Dads We Love — a free Father's Day Prayer Bundle from inTENNtional, and I want to walk you through exactly what's inside and why I think it might be the most meaningful thing you give this year.

Why a Gift Card Doesn't Cut It (And You Already Know That)

You know the feeling. You're standing in a store or scrolling online, and nothing feels right. A tie feels impersonal. A gadget feels like a guess. Something sentimental takes time you don't have. And underneath all of it is this ache — because what you really want is for him to know, truly know, that he is seen, valued, and deeply loved.

But sometimes we don't know where to start. We love him, we want to pray for him, and then we sit down, and the words just won't come. That's exactly what this bundle is for.

What's Inside the Prayers for the Dads We Love Bundle

This free bundle includes six carefully written prayers, each one designed for a specific kind of dad or father figure in your life. You can use one, you can use all of them, and you can come back to them again and again — because these prayers aren't just for Father's Day.

For the New Dad This prayer speaks directly to the man who is just finding his footing — holding something so small and so precious, feeling the weight of it every single day. It asks God to give him confidence when he feels out of his depth and to remind him that he was chosen for this on purpose.

For the Tired, Hardworking Dad

This one is for the man who gives so much of himself and rarely hears thank you. It asks God to restore what the busyness has taken from him, to give him soul-level rest, and to remind him that his faithfulness is seen — even when no one around him says so.

For the Stepdad or Father Figure

This prayer honours the man who chose to show up — who didn't have to, but did anyway. It celebrates chosen love and asks God to let him feel deeply appreciated, not just for what he does but for who he is.

For the Dad Going Through a Hard Season

Sometimes the man in your life is carrying more than anyone knows. This prayer meets him in that hard place — whether it's financial pressure, grief, health challenges, or the quiet weight of uncertainty — and asks God to surround him with peace and remind him that hard seasons don't write the final story.

For the Dad Who Doesn't Know God Yet

This one is for the person praying for a man whose heart hasn't yet opened to faith. It's a prayer of trust — asking God to soften what's hardened, to draw near to him, and to plant something in him that grows long after the day is over.

A Prayer to Pray Together With Dad

And finally, there's a prayer you can actually share with him — something to read together, out loud, on Father's Day or any day you want him to feel the love of the people around him and the love of God at the same time.

Who This Bundle Is For

I designed this bundle to be wide enough to reach anyone who loves a man in their life — because not every Father's Day looks the same, and not every relationship fits into a single category.

Wherever you find yourself, there is a prayer in this bundle written with you in mind.

How to Use It

You can use this bundle in a few different ways depending on what feels right for you and your situation.

The simplest way is to read all six prayers and find the one that speaks most directly to the man you're praying for. Then print it and give it to him directly.

A Prayer to Pray Together With Dad — is written to be read aloud together. Some families have started using it as a Father's Day tradition, gathering around the table to read it together. There is something powerful about a man hearing the people he loves speak words of blessing over him.

You can also print it out and tuck it somewhere meaningful — inside a card, beside his coffee mug, or tucked into his Bible. It doesn't have to be elaborate to matter.

And beyond Father's Day? Keep it. Come back to it on his birthday, on a hard day, on a day when you just want to lift him up. Prayer for the men in our lives doesn't have an expiration date.

A Note on Why I Made This

I've always believed that the most intentional thing we can do for the people we love is pray for them — specifically, honestly, and with faith that God hears every word. When I started inTENNtional, it was built on that conviction. The personalized devotionals I create, the free resources I share, the content I put out into the world — it all comes back to this: that faith should be practical, not just inspirational. It should give you something you can actually do.

This bundle is that. It's something you can do today. Something that costs nothing and means everything.

I hope it blesses the man in your life and the person reading these words in equal measure.

Keep exploring

One faithful next step can change the shape of a season.
