Praying Personalized Scriptures for Prodigals

If you’re like us, you have loved ones who have strayed from God or are lukewarm or cold in their relationship with Him. The Bible describes a person like this as a prodigal son. 

You may feel helpless in all your efforts to turn your prodigal back to God, and you may be wondering whether they will ever return to the Lord. If that describes you, then we have good news for you!  

There IS something you can do for those wayward children and loved ones. Start praying the following scriptures, believing that God's word will be fulfilled.
