"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE"

For those families that have prodigal children

Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Proverbs 8:17   I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Luke 15:17 “But when he came to himself,

Luke 15:18 ‘I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,

Luke 15:24 ‘for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

A thought for those with prodigals.

I hope you might take a moment to read the above Scriptures one more time. That Prodigal is someone God cares about. And, He knows where they are at this moment, and what they are doing at this moment, and what their needs are at this moment.

The prodigal in Luke 15:17, "Came to himself" Or as it reads in the NLT, "When he finally came to his senses"

And, in Luke 15:24, again in the NLT, it reads, "For this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found. So, the party began."

I personally have 3 sons who are prodigals. So, I can identify with you who may have prodigals as well.

A prayer for those with prodigals.

Father, Your love for these prodigals far outweighs our own love and concern. We ourselves, who know You and walk with You, are so, because You have graciously brought us to Yourself.

We recognize that only God can save a soul. Only God can bring about restoration of a lost soul.

We pray in the name of Jesus for each and every prodigal that belongs to anyone reading this today, that You would work by the power of Your Holy Spirit, to bring them to their senses, and bring them back to their families, and let the party begin.

Nothing is impossible with God.
