Day 168. How is God like earthly fathers? (2025)

Today is day 168 and we are on the section on The Address: "Our Father Who art in Heaven".

168. How is God like earthly fathers?Like all loving and sincere earthly fathers, God loves us in our weakness, provides for our needs, teaches us in our ignorance, and corrects us when we go astray. (Psalm 103:12–14; Luke 11:11–13; Hebrews 12:5–10)

We will conclude today with A Collect for Guidance in Morning Prayer found on page 23 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
