Many parents are prone to worry or fear when it comes to the future of their children, specifically those who are unsaved or prodigals. In this interview, Dr. Erwin Lutzer shows parents of all types how to abandon their routine lists of requests and trade them for scriptural prayers that “will immerse you in God’s promises and will.”

I had a prodigal daughter who ran so far away from God. She tried everything imaginable and was very rebellious. After praying for over ten years for her heart to change, she called me one night and said she had confessed her sins and the love of Jesus had saved her. That was two years ago and she is a totally different person. Keep praying! God hears! Praise the Lord!

During my childhood I didn't wait for my parents to teach me about God but at the age of 8 years old I seriously read my Bible ( good news bible).. although I am not understand it but it's knocked some sense to me . A few years after that people from the church including the pastor help me to study the Bible till I get a clear picture why I need Jesus in my life . I am from a chaotic home ...my father is an alcoholic..my mother working very hard to provide for the family. As a little child I don't like the way my parents handle their own family, that's why in my little child head I make a serious commitment to God that I will not let my life to be like my parent's had. Because of my seriousness in God, many years later I managed with the help from God brought all my siblings and our parents to accept Jesus in their life . My father once he accepted Jesus into his life also stop drinking till today. Sometimes God uses little child to bring Jesus unto a broken home ...Amenn

My Daughter was on the heroine, I was already Christian, but I intervene, i used to follow her, begging, even though I organize a funeral for both of us, I didn't believe in my Lord Jesus, then my Christian sisters asked me to leave to Jesus, to God, to the Holy Spirit, and I couldn't but there was a point that I was so desperate that was nothing else to do was give up my life and my daughter to Jesus. She is cured now, has 2 beautiful children, and a loving husband. Praise GOD Lord Jesus.

I prayed scriptures over my son dj daily morning, noon, evening & the midnight hour June 8 th 2020 he left for the hospital for an infection, there he got covid. For another month he was in the hospital they put him on a trach....he ended up passing July 30th...I stayed outside of the hospital in Mesa Az just praying for him from the early morning into the midnight. He was in a coma and I couldn't go see him but I did what I had to do stayed near him in prayer he passed July 30...the hardest evening ever but in spite of all that I know the Lord heard my prayer even though I wanted him come home. I miss him so much he was 39 years young.

I’m 19 years old, it’s so hard to be a Christian teenager and many teenagers don’t believe in Jesus but i want them to believe in Jesus I’ll pray for them everyday and I’ll keep my faith forever 💗💗🙌🙌

I raised up my now adult kids in church for the past 22 years. Both of them walked away from the Lord and didnt want to come around me because I am a Christian. In November of 2022 my 33 yr old son took his life and my daughter was the last one to see him, so shes more stand offish from me then before. Im praying that my daughter gets sick of living with out the Lord and crys out to the Lord during this time of grieving. She needs Jesus. Im standing on the Word of the Lord for myself and her during this time. May the Lord reach her heart and change her. 😊

[AnaHernandez-xjws]

I've done All this & still haven't seen my son's transformation BUT I keep praying & I know that before I die I will see this.

[jenniferkneebone]

My five children break my heart. It was not until I turned 50 that I became a Christian and gave my life to my Lord, resulting in my children growing up not knowing Jesus. They accept the fact that I believe but I have been strongly told not to speak if Jesus in their homes. I pray every day for them.

Wauw, I listened to this program when I was a kid, now suddenly I see it on YouTube, I do not have words enough for hearing you Guys God Bless I, m almost 60 now so you can imagine how long ago this was on Transworld Radio Bonaire Netherland Antilles in that time.

[shereenhansrajh]

Amen, please keep my adult unmarried sons and daughter, Kiron, Avish and Chrissa in prayer as all 3 of them are drug addicts and are struggling in life. I have been a single mum and bread winner for the past 33 years from a hindu background. I have been praying for them with no results. My second son Avish had given his hart to the lord for a short time, about 6 Months and is gone back to drugs. I feel so hopeless and helpless and can't understand that this could happen to him. Please stand with me in Jesus name. 😊

I was a prodigal daughter. Baptized in my teenage years…but left the faith In my early 20s up to my 30s. Was in the world and “enjoying “ life…I’m sure my mom prayed for me. It’s not till after I had my first child that I came back to church occasionally. My husband too eventually joined me but we weren’t 100%. Then after Covid when churches opened up we both went back fully and committed and my husband even got baptized. His mom had been praying for him for an extremely long time.

Now I pray for my brothers to come back to the faith. Nothing is impossible.

This was a great video because I felt I was praying over my kids the same prayer and it was becoming stale. I love praying thru a scripture. Even tho my kids are still young it’s never to early to pray over them. God bless 🙏

[annachirco]

I have an 18 yr old prodigal daughter and it's heart wrenching. I have Jesus by my side and I trust in him but I still cry as I pray. God bless all that have this kind of pain. The world we live in is not the world I grew up in.
