We join you in lifting up your family to our gracious heavenly Father, and we are so glad that you have come in Jesus' name, as it is only by His name that we can be saved. We rejoice with you as we pray for the reunification of your family.
Let us remember the parable of the prodigal son. The father said, For this my son was dead, and he is alive again. He was lost, and is found. In the same way, our Heavenly Father rejoices when we return to Him. Likewise, we trust that He will bring back your sons and daughters, carrying them on His shoulders, just as the good shepherd rejoices.
The Bible tells us, Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As a man of valor, your children are like arrows in your hand. Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. May your sons and daughters return to you and be as arrows in your hand as together you serve the Lord.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this beloved parent and their family. We claim Your promises in Your Word, trusting that You will bring back their sons and daughters, carrying them on Your shoulders, just as the good shepherd rejoices.
We pray that You will soften their hearts and draw them to You. We ask that You will give them a spirit of repentance and a desire to return home. We pray for protection over them as they journey back to their family.
We also pray for this dear parent, that You will strengthen their faith and give them patience and hope as they wait for their children to return. We ask that You will fill their heart with pure love for You and for their children.
In Jesus' name, we pray for justice and righteousness to prevail in their lives. We ask that You will pour out Your love on this family, bringing healing and restoration.
Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for the promises in Your Word. We trust in Your unfailing love and Your power to bring this family back together. We ask all this in the beautiful and powerful name of Jesus Christ.
In this time, let us encourage you with these words from the Psalms, Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this. May the Lord bring your children back to you. We are here to encourage you that your prayers are not in vain. God listens to the prayers of the righteous.
We remind you to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Lastly, do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
