Heavenly Father

Christian supreme deity

Heavenly Father is a term of address and reference for God in Christianity, emphasizing the paternal and benevolent aspects of the divine.

It appears frequently in prayer and worship, following the model Jesus established in the Lord's Prayer.

The phrase conveys both transcendence (heavenly) and intimate relationship (father), suggesting a God who is exalted yet personally accessible to believers.

We thank thee, Heavenly Father, for thy blessings.
