Music for Your Prodigal Wilderness

In my many years living in a prodigal wilderness, one of the greatest helps for me was worship music. Especially music that acknowledged the pain and loss when you love a prodigal. It calmed my fears and encouraged trust and inspired hope. And gave me strength and courage to keep on loving and forgiving and extending grace.

For you, if you love a prodigal, I have asked a lot of friends what music they have found most helpful. Following is a list of a dozen wide variety of songs, most with lyrics, that have been recommended.

I pray at least one or two of these will be gifts from God to your heart and your soul.
