Bring Back My Runaway Child

 

 

Living God, who knows the heart and mind and will of every person, help me.  You see me, Lord, agonized, weeping day and night, and unable to find my runaway child.  You know where she is right now.  Your eye is upon her.  Lord, you alone can help her.  You alone can thoroughly search the streets and alleyways, speak her name, and call her home to us.  Father, restore this child to our family.  Bring this wayward one back into our arms.

 

Keep her safe on the streets.  Let no evil overtake her, Lord.  You know she doesn't make wise decisions.  Walk with her as she wanders in the night.  Lead her to a place of safety.  Surround this rebellious child with people who will reach out and help her.  Give her a safe place to sleep.  Provide food, but make her miserable enough that she yearns for the safety and love of our home again.  Cause her thoughts to be drawn to those who love her.  Convince her of my love, Lord.

 

Father, right this moment, speak to my daughter.  Fill her with a desire to phone home, or cause her to share her heart with someone who will contact me.  Thank you, Lord, for hearing me when I cry out to you.  i know you will answer, for you are a loving heavenly Father.  In Christ's name.

 

Amen.

you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
