Creator God, I pray that You would intervene that this son would find his way home, even while his parents wait day and night, watching for his return. Thank You for the hope of the Prodigal Son, wayward for so long, but finally looking toward home and those who love him. Give to this beloved son a longing to hear the voices of those who gave him life ... give to him a longing to be near the things of home. If there be anything in his life that hinders this, draw him from it, O Lord, I pray. Grant reassurance and comfort to his parents, for we know that You will search for that one lost sheep and that You will bring him back into the fold.
We praise You, most Merciful Father, for Your unending love, in the name of Jesus, Amen ...
