I am a wife, mother of 4, grandmother of 10, cancer survivor, and lover of the Lord! I have seen God’s faithfulness in the lives of my children over many years.
A loving God who gives us free choice won’t force a child of His to serve Him but will allow them to make decisions about their own future. The prodigal is in the process of discovering what they truly believe about life and the Father. Be at peace concerning your prodigal… He has not forsaken them.
These 365 days of verses come from my own life experience praying over a prodigal child. It’s my prayer that you will be encouraged by them daily.
Your specific prodigal may be a child, but could be a spouse, parent, sibling, maybe a friend, but someone you love. As you insert the name of your prodigal into these verses, I pray hope will rise up in you for their return.
God bless…. Suzanne

365days-Praying For A Prodigal 
I am so grateful for these scripture prayers you share. I have been praying them for two years now and I have shared these with other moms. Is there a way to still sign up for the emails? I have another mom friend I’d like to pass this along to.

Hello Stacy! It’s hard to believe I’ve been posting for 5 years.. thanks for bringing that to my attention 🙂 I keep wondering if I should keep it going but God hasn’t released me from it yet. As long as other parents/relatives of prodigals can gain some encouragement, I have fulfilled the mission of what God asked me to do drawing from my experience. Thanks so much for commenting! I’ll be praying for those on your list as well.

Suzanne, Kela sent me your prayers for a prodigal and it is a Godsend to me. Bob respects Rod so much but I have not had much opportunity to visit with the two of you and did not know you had a prodigal. Thank you for providing 365 days of prayers for those of us who have a prodigal. I know it will help me trust God with our prodigal.
