A Prayer for a Prodigal (a wandering loved one)

If someone you love has walked away from God, this prayer is for the long wait, trusting the Father who is always watching the road for them.

Father, I lift up the one I love who has wandered far from You.

You see them even now, and You love them more than I do.

Guard them, and draw them home by whatever it takes.

Give me patience to keep praying and hope to keep watching the road.

Bring them home. Amen.

“When he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”
Luke 15:20

You don’t have to pray alone

On The Living Bread you can ask the family of God to pray for you and watch prayers be answered, or pray for someone else who needs it today. It is free, and you are welcome exactly as you are.
