Prodigal Prayer is dedicated to helping those who need encouragement and assistance in reaching those they feel are lost.
Where did the term Prodigal come from?
The true love of a parent for their child is shown in the parable of the Lost Son. The story of a young man who broke his father's heart when he left home and yet never damaged the hunger and love that the father had for his son. (Luke 15:11-32) It's a story that has been with us for many years and yet its impact is still as true today as it ever was.
It is with a reflection of this joy that we approach the return of those who are lost, those who have left their Father and are wandering alone. Forgiveness and the joy of reconciliation wait for them to return. We have to be ready to receive and welcome these wanderers as they make approaches to turn to the Father.
We look forward to seeing their return just as the longing father did in the story. The Father's heart cries out and he still hungers for his children that are lost to return. Join us as we pray that they return not as the elder brother in the story did but with delight and anticipation.
