Free Devotional eBooks for Prayer for Prodigals

The Prayer for Prodigals community is a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. It started out of a desire of several staff women to pray for their children who were straying from God.

A specific ministry of PrayerforProdigals.com is the Worldwide Day of Prayer for Prodigals. Every June 2nd, since 2005, thousands of people from around the world pray virtually and in local groups for the now 2000 names on the list of prodigals. The objective of the Worldwide Day of Prayer for Prodigals is to come together to petition God for those we love who are walking away from Him.

The kid was passionate! Despite his broken English he definitely got his point across. In fact, at one point in the 20 minute ride, he handed me his personal phone so I could watch a Muslim leader of some kind challenge a Bible-believing minister.

Do We Miss out on Freedom? (Guest Post)

Mary Henderson

The Truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.” – Patsy Clairmont

I hear you, Patsy! I’ve experienced this when:

  • Someone has confronted me about one of my weaknesses. Ouch!
  • I’ve stepped on the scale and realized that BIG changes need to happen. Yikes. I’ve realized I need to exercise more or make nutritional changes. Ugh.

  • I fought accepting that sin separated me from God. Eternal pain!

What about you? Is there a truth you want to avoid, but accepting and working through the agony will ultimately set you free? Continue reading “Do We Miss out on Freedom? (Guest Post)”
