The title of today’s blog may call to mind the 50’s television sitcom of the same name, starring Robert Young. Debuting in 1954, Jim Anderson guided and resolved his family’s problems.

When I think of my own prayers to our Heavenly Father, I think of His names, Father, God, Lord, Abba, Jehovah and many more. Does it matter how He is addressed? Certainly, with no disrespect and only with honor and glory, but the human idea of a “personage” or specific name, may not be of concern.

Our Father, Lord, God is well pleased when we come to Him in prayer with praise and thanksgiving. Giving our prayers and pleas to Him with a specific title is not of greatest importance. What is most important, is knowing in our hearts that He knows BEST! He knows our needs and wants before we even bring ourselves to pray before Him. Your Heavenly Father’s will for you is always the best!

Father’s Day card sales don’t seem to rank as high as those for mothers, but that does not lessen the importance of their roles in our lives. Fathers, our patriarchs, are our teachers in life who set examples for us and love us. My dad may not have been Robert Young, but he was always smiling, always funny, helped us work out all our problems, had an incredibly strong faith, was active in church, and in my eyes my father knew best!

Your Heavenly Father, Lord, God, Abba, Jehovah knows and will do the very BEST for you. Thank Him and praise Him, His love is unconditional.
