I would like to share the encouragement that God gave me this week through my prayer time for my prodigal. Not only do we all have prodigals in our lives, we all ARE prodigals. We are born prodigals. As God found us, he will find our wandering loved ones. We still need to pray, but we should pray in hope.
What Hope Knows
My loved one is not:
Prouder than Nebuchadnezzar
More stubborn than Jonah
More spiritually blind than Saul
Farther from God than the Prodigal
A murderer like Moses and David
And God is not:
Feeble
Passive
Confused
Indifferent
Worried
So I should not:
Worry
Despair
Demand answers
Doubt God
Use sinful distractions
Because I can:
Pray
Let others pray
Trust
Hope
Remember God’s faithfulness
And then God will:
Quiet me
Encourage me
Grow me
Speak to me
Amaze me
