The Bible.com (or Bible App from YouVersion) has so many great plans to go through and read.

It’s incredible getting to go through these devotions for dads. It’s even more incredible getting to reach out to the authors and connect with them. Today when I did my search for “dad” in the Bible.com plans, the next one on the list was from UNCOMMEN and titled – STRANGE – WORDS – A Dad’s Prayer…
I found this devotional: Being Fathered By God.
