LOVING A PRODIGAL: Enduring Time

foreword

On June 2 every year hundreds of us come together—virtually—to pray for wandering loved ones. These devotions on Loving a Prodigal: Enduring Time were written to help us prepare for that June 2 Worldwide Day of Prayer for Prodigals.

Surely one of the most common questions asked by those who love a prodigal is, “How long, Lord?”

For all of us, time is such a controlling element. We don’t have enough time to do everything. We need to manage time, use time well, not waste time.

As our children grow we move between “will this phase ever end?” to “how did they grow up so fast?” When things are difficult or boring, time drags, yet when life is good, time flies.

But when you love a prodigal, it can seem like time stands still, or “will this never end?”

In these brief devotional thoughts, we try to enter into God’s perspective on time, to rest in His timing and even to wait with hope and expectancy.

May all that happen for you as you read this little book.
