How to participate in Worldwide Prodigal Prayer Day
Who may pray for prodigals on June 2nd?
Anyone and everyone can pray—from all over the world. Most often people who love an at-risk or rebellious family member are eager to pray.
What is Prayer for Prodigals? Do I have to be a member?
Prayer for Prodigals (P4P) is a community of people who have joined our password-protected website for resources, encouragement, and a safe place to request prayer and pray for others. It is free and all online.
We sponsor the Worldwide Prodigal Prayer Day, but you don’t have to be a member to pray with us on June 2nd. Information, resources, and personal requests are available to members only because it is a password-protected site. You are welcome to join.
How do we pray on June 2nd?
You may pray in any way that works for you: You may pray as long or as little as you like. Most people try to join with others—friends, neighbors, church—in small groups at some point in the day. Or you can pray by yourself. I pray on and off throughout the day, and usually end with a group praying in the evening.
Hope for Hurting Parents is hosting a Zoom Prayer Call on June 2nd 6:00-7:30pm EST. Register at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAtfuuorTwqHtQtDxcFjcDpsVtO9pbLtS6k#/registration
I mean, how do we “pray”?
Again, in any way you are comfortable. We have a booklet, Prayers for Your Wilderness Journey, that offers a variety of ways to pray and helpful Scriptures.
What is The List?
The list is the centerpiece of the Prodigal Prayer Day. At this time, we have at least 8,000 names for whom prayer has been requested. It is only first names, but God knows each one.
Some of us will pray through the entire list, lifting names up to God, asking for Him to keep on loving, pursuing, and drawing them back to those who love them and to Himself. Many will pray for a section of the list (it’s alphabetical) or get as far as they can. We ask that everyone try to spend some time praying for people on The List.
If you are a member of P4P, you can access the list there on the welcome page. If you are not a member (you are welcome to join us), you can access the list here: Names to Pray For.
I don’t always get through the entire list on June 2nd, so I keep praying through the list. You can use it all year.
How do we put names on the list?
You can write to prayerforprodigals@gmail.com or go to our Facebook page. You may continue to add names through June 2nd.
Is there anything else we need to know?
Our theme this year is Fear Not. Beginning May 14, I will post devotionals on my blog and my podcast pages to help prepare our hearts and minds for intensive praying.
Most of us with prodigals know of others who love a prodigal. Please tell others about the June 2nd Worldwide Prodigal Prayer Day and the Prayer for Prodigals Community.
