A Prayer for the Prodigals

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, remind us today of those people we know that don't know You, or have turned away from You. We know You love them so much more than we ever could, and that You are waiting to rejoice over them--help us to convey that truth. Help us to demonstrate Your love to them so that one day we can celebrate Your love together. We pray this in Jesus' name, amen.

As you pray, meditate on these words from Luke 15:20-24:

"And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate."

We Look Forward To Praying With You: 🙏🙏

Our three children Joshua Michael and Jessica went to Christian school and Christian college. After college they walked totally away from the Lord. They do not believe He even exists. In the October issue of Back to The Bible, Arnie Cole’s story gave me hope along with scripture reading and prayer daily. Arnie said he came back to the Lord at age 47 old. Our oldest is 44. In faith and confidence, please pray along with me for their salvation and return to Jesus.

Have faith! GOD is in control and HE will never leave us nor forsake us! PRAY!

Please pray for me , I am very depressed with the direction our country is going, The world seems to upside down; pray that evil will not prevail and good men will stand up to the hatred on the left.

Thank you for your question. Contemplative prayer can be very problematic, depending on how it's defined. Traditionally, it's been the process of "clearing one's mind" while focusing on a verse or word or something else. The problem is we aren't called to empty our minds. We aren't called to rid ourselves of thought. Instead, we are to meditate on God's Word. We are to renew our minds, not empty them. Now, should we pray in quiet? In seclusion? In reflection of God and His word? Absolutely. But if we're not careful we'll adopt new age and secular practices into a deeply biblical discipline. Here are a couple of resources for you to dig deeper into this topic: https://www.gotquestions.org/contemplative-prayer.html https://carm.org/emerging-church-movement/centering-prayer/

I also have a Prodigal son that has and is wandering. Prayers for his resolution to return to the Lord. And get his life back on track. He hasn't really ever been on track since High School and is letting negative influences, drugs and who knows what else dictate his paths. Pray he can be found before it's too late.
