A PRAYER FOR THE PRODIGAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS

June 13, 2022 3:14 pm , Leave a Comment ,

There are countless sons and daughters who grew up knowing Christ, loving Him as children. Yet they chose to turn away from God as they grew into adults. The story of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) is encouraging and reveals the radical love of our HEAVENLY FATHER. God’s love is relentless, and He always receives the rebellious ones with open arms.

This year, I have been sensing in my spirit that the prodigal sons and daughters are beginning to be awakened spiritually. I believe that they are being drawn by the FATHER’S love and will be returning to the Lord with a greater zeal than they’ve ever had before.

Let’s pray passionately for the prodigal sons and daughters to be set free from destructive paths and pray fervently for them to be the ones that bring the greatest changes in our world.

LORD,

Thank You for Your love, mercy, and grace. Thank You for pouring out Your Spirit upon all of the sons and daughters who have turned away from You. Destroy the works of darkness that have attempted to thwart Your good plans for their lives. Help them to turn away from destructive paths and live faithfully by Your Spirit. Open their spiritual eyes and help them to see that You are the way, truth, and life.

Draw them into Your loving arms and hold them close to Your heart. Give them a powerful revelation of Your love and bring them back to a relationship with You. Help them to feel Your presence continually and heal every hurting place in their hearts. Give them the desire to grow closer to You and follow You all the days of their lives.

Baptize the prodigal sons and daughters with Your Holy Spirit and let them draw near to You every day. Help them become mighty warriors for Your kingdom and be shining examples of Your transforming power. Help them to be the strong men and women of God they are called to be. Help them to stay focused on You and follow Your guiding voice every day. Let them be pure in Your sight and be used by You to bring the greatest changes in our world. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

PRAY BOLDLY!

Are you a mom that’s feeling desperate as you watch your children struggle through the trials of life? Your prayers are more powerful than you can imagine. There is mountain-moving power in a mother’s prayers.

Jesus can and will move mountains if you pray fervently and don’t give up praying until He answers.

My prayer is that every desperate mom will fall on her knees and cry out to Jesus for help.

LORD,

Thank You for hearing the cries and prayers of desperate moms all around the world. Thank You for loving our sons and daughters more than we do. I lift up the mothers that desperately need You to rescue their children from fears, addictions, suicide, diseases, violence, and all the other things that are wreaking havoc on the younger generation. I ask You to fill the worried moms with unwavering faith and courage. Fill them with hope and peace every day. Give them strength to go forward each day with a new outlook on life. Let millions of mothers rise up and pray for the youth in the world so that countless miracles will be birthed out of their prayers. I trust You to do what seems impossible and I pray in Christ’s name. Amen.

As a MOTHER’S DAY gift to you, the KINDLE EDITION of The Desperate Mom’s Prayer Book is available for download on Amazon for FREE on May 6th and May 7th.  I hope the eBook encourages you during these trying times in our world.

A MOTHER’S PRAYER IS POWERFUL

A Mother's Prayer is Powerful

My mothering instincts kicked into high gear and a flood of concern rushed into my mind when I heard the ring of the phone after midnight. I was thinking: What if something is wrong with my daughter?

Christa was seventeen at the time and in Mexico on a mission trip for the purpose of constructing a house for a homeless family. She and a large group of students were camping in tents in an open field area.

I grabbed my phone as quickly as possible and heard my daughter’s sullen voice on the other end of the line.

“Mommy, I’m afraid I have a bad virus. I feel very nauseous. Everyone is asleep, and I don’t know what to do.”

There were chaperones sleeping in other tents, but understandably she was apprehensive about searching in the dark for one of the adults.

As a protective mother, I felt helpless while I listened to my daughter. In the midst of trying to push away my fearful thoughts, I accepted that the power of prayer was our only option.

“Let me get your daddy. He and I will pray for you.”

I encouraged Christa as calmly as I knew how. After awakening Michael, he and I prayed for healing for our daughter. In that moment, I felt peace wash over me.

Even though Christa was still feeling very sick, I mustered up enough confidence to assure her that she would be okay and said, “Goodbye; I love you and I’ll be praying.”

After laying the phone down, I was tempted to let fear consume me, but there was truly no other choice than to trust Christ completely. I could not transport myself thousands of miles instantaneously to take care of my sick daughter. The situation was out of my control.

I could either fret or choose to believe God’s promises in the Bible. Christ promised if we believe that we have received it, it will be ours (Mark 11:24).

After my conversation with Christa, I struggled in the beginning to completely shake my worries, but eventually I let go and released my daughter to the Lord. I surrendered everything about the circumstance to Christ and asked Him to fill me with faith.

During the following days, I tried to call Christa’s cell phone multiple times to check on her, but I never could reach her.

Eight days later, Michael and I excitedly hurried to the airport to pick up our daughter. In the baggage claim area, I looked intently for Christa’s face in the crowd. My heart was overjoyed when I saw my daughter’s beaming smile. I knew the moment I saw her glowing face, the Lord had heard our prayers and healed her.

As I stood there in awe, I asked, “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”  She replied, “There was no cell phone reception other than the night I was sick.”

Then I remembered that her youth leader had told us previously there would be no cell phone reception where they were staying.

I couldn’t deny God’s supernatural intervention. Already knowing the answer, I asked, “Did you get well after we prayed?”

“The nausea went away about ten minutes after we prayed together. I never felt sick again the entire trip.” Christa was radiating joy as she shared the testimony of God’s faithfulness.

 

Christa

 

Not only had God touched my daughter’s sick body—He had enabled her to get in touch with me in a place where cell phone reception is usually impossible.

Sometimes there are predicaments that only Jesus has the power to change. When we release our children to God through faith-filled prayer, miracles begin to happen.

Is your child in a situation that’s out of your control? If you’re struggling to release your children’s problems to the Lord, remember that with faith as small as a mustard seed, we can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible (Matthew 17: 20).

As a mother falls to her knees, crying out desperately for a divine intervention, Christ comes to the rescue. A mother’s heart aches when her child aches and the heavens are shaken with her love. The power of a mother’s fervent prayer moves the heart of God to do what only He can do.
