A Prayer for the Parents of a Prodigal Child | Your Daily Prayer

Today I lift my broken heart to You in need of the hope that can only be found in Your love, mercy, and grace. I have done my best to raise my son/daughter (name) in a Godly home, but I admit I have made plenty of mistakes. Please forgive me where I have failed You or my child and provide healing to the wounds that have been acquired on this journey. Lord, I thank you for my son. I deeply love him, but the choices and decisions that he is making are causing a wake of destruction and so much tension to our relationship. I know You have a plan for him, and even in the midst of these trials there is a purpose, so I hold tightly to the promise that this will be a part of his testimony and can be used for good. O God, I know You are so much stronger than any wicked influences that are found in this world, and the temptations that my son faces, which is why I have faith that he will not be able to permanently depart from the foundation that was set before him (Proverbs 22:6). I plead with my whole heart for You to release him of this sinful hold, that every lie from the deceiver will be brought to light, and that he will seek repentance. I pray no weapon formed against my child prosper because he is covered by the love, mercy, and blood of Jesus. I ask all of this in Your holy and precious name, Jesus, amen.
