Dear Father Mine

Dear Father Mine

Hoping You’ll guide me-
This day or the day after-
I await your call from day to day.

Hoping You’ll give darshan
but afraid you may not,
I’m all alert from hour to hour.

Hoping You’ll come to me straight
This very instant
I’m watching and praying ever anon.

Hoping You’ll smile at me
at last, though not at first,
I’m longingly gazing with thirsty eyes.

I shall stand and stay, in deep distress
Until my day of bliss does dawn
I am Yours, Your own, though exiled far.
Dear Father mine! Do heal Your child.

Dear Father Mine – A Sacred Prayer of Love, Trust, and Surrender

Dear Father Mine is a tender devotional expression that carries the feeling of a child speaking to the Divine Father with love, faith, and complete trust. It is not a complicated prayer filled with difficult words. It is the simple voice of the heart saying, “You are my protector, my guide, my strength, and my comfort.” Such a prayer becomes powerful because it comes from deep love and surrender.

In human life, a father is often seen as someone who protects, guides, supports, and corrects with care. In the same way, the Divine Father gives strength when the heart feels weak and direction when the mind feels confused. Dear Father Mine reminds the devotee that God is not distant or cold. He is close, loving, patient, and always aware of every silent struggle.

There are moments when life feels heavy. Problems may come suddenly, people may misunderstand, and the future may look uncertain. During such times, a devotee turns inward and says, Dear Father Mine, please hold my hand. This prayer gives courage because it reminds the heart that no one is truly alone when faith is alive. The Divine Father may guide silently, but His presence gives strength.

A child does not always understand the father’s decisions, but the child trusts the love behind them. Spiritual life also asks for this kind of trust. Sometimes prayers are answered quickly, and sometimes answers are delayed. Sometimes life gives what we want, and sometimes it gives what we need. Dear Father Mine teaches that divine wisdom sees more than human desire can understand.

This prayer is also a message of surrender. Human beings often try to control every situation, but life does not always move according to personal plans. Surrender does not mean weakness. It means doing one’s duty sincerely and placing the final result in God’s hands. When a devotee says Dear Father Mine, the heart becomes lighter because it no longer carries every burden alone.

The Divine Father does not reject a sincere heart because of weakness or mistakes. A devotee may feel unworthy, confused, or broken, but divine love still gives hope. God sees not only our failures, but also our potential. He knows the sincerity hidden behind our struggles. This is why the prayer Dear Father Mine feels so comforting. It allows the devotee to come honestly, without pretending.

True devotion should also reflect in daily life. If we call God our Father, then we must try to live as worthy children. We should speak truthfully, act kindly, forgive others, help the needy, and reduce pride. Love for the Divine Father becomes meaningful when it changes our thoughts, words, and actions. A pure heart is the greatest offering.

Dear Father Mine also brings gratitude. The devotee remembers the unseen blessings received through life: protection during danger, strength during pain, guidance during confusion, and peace during prayer. Many times, grace works quietly in the background. We may not notice it immediately, but later we understand that we were being guided all along.

In the end, Dear Father Mine is a sacred prayer of closeness, love, and faith. It reminds the devotee that the Divine Father knows every tear, hears every prayer, and supports every sincere effort. When the heart feels tired, this prayer becomes comfort. When the mind feels lost, it becomes guidance. When life feels uncertain, it becomes strength.

A person who lives with the feeling of Dear Father Mine slowly becomes calmer, humbler, and more trusting. Fear turns into faith, worry turns into surrender, and loneliness turns into divine companionship. This is the blessing of such a prayer – it makes life feel protected, guided, and filled with the loving presence of the Divine Father.
