Ike

Almighty Father, as we lift up Ike to you we thank you for the blessing that he is in our family.  Aid Ike with your grace as he strives to be a strong and loving father; help him to be gentle and selfless in the care of his family and children through struggles and joy.  May we seek the intersession of your earthly father, Joseph, for Ike to be blessed with wisdom, patience, and understanding.  In your name we pray. Amen.
