Jesus told many parables, but few more memorable than that of the Prodigal Son. The story
of a beloved son, going astray, wandering off—trying, and failing, at going his own way in life,
followed by his joyful return.
Maybe you know someone—a beloved child or friend—who’s gone from a strong believer into
a new season of life; one that’s steered them into worries, distractions, or simply away from their
first love. All while you still prayerfully await their return.
You’ve been praying, but it can be hard to find the words. We’re here to help.
With powerful, day-by-day prayers you simply read, inserting the name of the person in your life
who has wandered away. Examples of touchpoints on your 40-day journey include asking God to—
- Remind them of the joy of where they were
- Expose the lies in their current life
- Keep them safe from harm
- Remind them of their true identity
- Bring truth to mind, in community and even in their dreams
That’s right, your new prayer warrior and friend Laura is going to share her words with you for
the next 40 days, praying your “prodigal” sees their situation, finds dissatisfaction, and desires
more than anything to turn their heart back towards home.
The prayers are for them; the journey is for you.
You’ll even have opportunities along the way to reflect on your own experiences during their
wandering, preparing your own heart for re-connecting in God’s timing.
You have the heart; we’ll share the words. Why not start a 40 day journey of prayer for the
Wayward Believers in your life today.
