Praying for Our Prodigals

I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still
talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
Isaiah 65:24
This week I am switching it up and posting an article that I found very encouraging. I pray the Father uses it to encourage you as well. I would love to hear in the comment section below a favorite Scripture that has inspired you to persevere and given you hope while you pray and wait. For me, I pray Isaiah 30:21 inserting my son's name: Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the way; walk in it." We know The Word of God is living and active and when we read it, it can speak to us and our situation in a personal and even exciting way.
