Community
Are you aware of the Prayer for Prodigals ministry? You’re invited to join this community to safely share your struggles about your prodigal who is straying from God. The members of this community can empathize with you and will comfort, encourage, and pray for your family. (It usually takes about four days to process your request and admit you into this online community.)
Day of Prayer
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 through a list of prodigals.
I know I’m late alerting you to this, but if you’re signed in to Facebook, you can still join in on the fan page for Prayer for Prodigals. Next year, if you’ve joined the community at Prayer for Prodigals, you’ll have access to the prayer requests.
Free Devotional eBooks
Judy Douglass, wife of the president of Campus Crusade for Christ, writes free devotional eBooks each year in conjunction with the Day of Prayer. Last year’s book was devoted to Rest and this year’s to Grace.
