I need this really bad...can you pray for me ? I miss my father so intensely and so deeply that its affected my life. He is so busy but I have literally begged him to let me go with him on his travelz and to work. I feel like I hardly know him but I love him with all my heart. I beg, I cry, I beg my Mom to tell him to let me just have time with him. Im going to keep it up until he says yes. I cant think of enough things to say or do to get his full and undivided attention. Please pray for me that I get tons of tyme with him. Im 18 and I feel that this is forming my outlook on life.

Have Confidence, Wait and Watch Patiently for a slow and steady reversals in your way.
One day, in Prasanthi Nilayam, one journalist who came for reporting was smoking. Prashanthi Nilayam is the Abode of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and smoking is not permitted in the Ashram.
The Sevadal Volunteer asked the reporter to stop smoking. And the reporter retorted bit angrily and imapatiently, "What shall you do, if I do not stop smoking and put down the Cigarette."
Then the Sevadal Volunteer replied, "Nothing, but shall keep repeating this request to you to put down the cigarette and stop smoking again again."
The journalist stopped the smoking immediately.
May be Feed Love and Wait with Patience was the Great Art and theme that Jesus displayed and ran to Perfection and perhaps the underlying thread behind the whole of Holy Text, the Bible

you can't let this form your outlook on life. My real father did the same thing to me and he is a so called "pastor." The funny thing is I became a pastor also and what I saw in him fueled what I did not want to be. I hope and pray that you do get that time with him. The best thing to do is to confront him. Tell him that by him ignoring you makes you feel like he doesn't love you, if that is the case. Tell him how it truly makes you feel. Guys are not the greatest at this kind of stuff, but I have found that it is the best way.

I will pray for you and your father, that he will open his eyes and see what his being gone all the time is doing to you. Have you thought about writing all this down in a letter and put it in his suitcase or briefcase or something so that he will find it when he is away from you and he can read how his being away has affected you. I am sure he has heard the old song by Harry Chapin "The Cat's in the Cradle". He needs to listen to it again and take the words to heart. If you have never heard of it, here is a website, go to it and read the words. The words are written for a son, but you can replace it with daughter. God bless you and good luck.

Stop praying it does no good whatsoever. It just wastes your time.
Have you bothered to ask him why you can not go with him?
If you have, think about his answers. Are they good reasons? Talk to him about the reasons rather than whether you get to go or not.
You beg and cry? Does your father want someone with him who will act like a 9 year old? Or would he be more likely to accept the company of an adult?
What does you father do? What does he need when he travels? What could you do to help him? If you love your dad so much then find a way to help him in his travels and work, rather than acting as a whiny kid who just wants his attention.
Finally, I think your father might be more proud of you if you made your own mark on the world rather than hang around him. What are you doing to improve yourself?

Is this a situation that came about recently? If he's been like this for most of your life, you really can't change him. Ask him to set aside one weekend just for the two of you to go away together. If he still won't set aside time with you, you can't make him and neither can your mom. I'm sorry this distresses you, and I will pray for you right now.

We make our own choices in life.
I wish you peace and I wish Your Father a change of heart and understanding.
With Love.
You guide your outlook on life. You choose to feel negative or positive about it.
I want to make my stay here as pleasant as possible for others and myself - life seemed a lot harder before I realized this.

I think you should sit down and have a serious conversation with him. Please also consider talking with a family counselor. It's frankly a little disturbing that this is affecting your life so deeply. Your question is leaning in a creepy obsessive direction.

I don't pray, but I wish you the best.
Remember that this is all making you a stronger person.
