Read Isaiah 40:27-31.
Today, I would like to share with you about the importance of having a loving Christian supportive father in one's life. As many of you know, my father passed away in April of 2025. I've always known that my father, Frank DeZurik, loved me, but it hasn't been until recently that I've really begun to understand and embrace what this really means and looks like for my life and for his. My father has written so many journals almost every day for years that I don't know if I will ever get through them all. Here's something he wrote back in July of 2003. You'll see that we were on vacation and deciding whether to take a new youth ministry position or not.
Today, Jason is preaching at Becky's church in Minnesota. Neither Becky or Jason and Jaya know I am here. Judy [Frank's wife and my mother] tried to get off work but…
I know we both are praying that the empowerment of the Holy Spirit is upon Jason to preach God's word because someone needs to hear God's message through him. We pray renewed strength upon Jason because we know how exhausting vacation can be, and with Jaya and Jason needing renewed strength and guidance upon their lives, as husband and wife and mother and father in making decisions about whether to take a position in Minnesota or not.
Fathers, if you don't think you matter, you do. Your prayers matter. God not only made you, but He made the children that He's given to you. He has given you an incredible responsibility. Don't just waste your time with the children He's given to you.
