PRAYERS FOR FIRST-TIME DADS

It's 2 a.m. You finally got the baby down. You love this kid more than you knew was possible. And you're terrified you're going to get it wrong. Most new dads carry the same things: exhaustion that never quite lifts, the pressure to provide and lead and hold it together, the anger that surprises you, the faith you want but can't quite find words for. Nobody gave you a script for this. Nobody told you how heavy the love would be. Prayers for First-Time Dads is a 28-day devotional written for the man who wants to lead his family well and is honest enough to admit he doesn't have it all together. Each day takes ten minutes. It walks into a real struggle — fear, anger, exhaustion, identity, marriage, legacy — anchors it in scripture, and ends with a prayer you can actually say out loud. In the truck. In the hallway. Wherever you are when you need the words. No theology degree required. No polished faith required. Just a willingness to show up — for your child, your marriage, and the man you're in the middle of becoming. Pick it up. Read one day. Say the prayer. That's the whole bar — and it's enough to start becoming the father you want to be.
