This blog is for you too! Now is the time to to be on yours knees daily, calling God to send armies of angels to protect and save he/she from any misstep. In hindsight, many of us parents of prodigals wish we had started praying much earlier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the prayer below I am going to use the word daughter you can replace with the&lt;br /&gt;name of your prodigal,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there anyplace my daughter can go to avoid Your Spirit?&lt;br /&gt;To be out of Your sight?&lt;br /&gt;If she climbs to the sky, You're there!&lt;br /&gt;If she goes underground, You're there!&lt;br /&gt;If she flew on morning's wings&lt;br /&gt;to the far western horizon,&lt;br /&gt;You'd find her in a minute--&lt;br /&gt;You're already there waiting!&lt;br /&gt;Then I said to myself,"Oh, He even sees her in the dark"!&lt;br /&gt;At night she's immersed in the light!&lt;br /&gt;It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you;&lt;br /&gt;night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to You.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes, You shaped my daughter first inside, then out;&lt;br /&gt;You formed her in her mother's womb.&lt;br /&gt;I thank You, High God -- You're breathtaking!&lt;br /&gt;Body and soul, she is marvelously made!&lt;br /&gt;I worship in adoration -- what a creation!&lt;br /&gt;You know her inside and out,&lt;br /&gt;You know every bone in her body;&lt;br /&gt;You know exactly how she was made, bit by bit,&lt;br /&gt;how she was sculpted from nothing into something.&lt;br /&gt;Like an open book, You watched her grow from conception, to birth;&lt;br /&gt;all the stages of her life were spread out before You,&lt;br /&gt;The days of her life all prepared&lt;br /&gt;before she'd even lived one day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your thoughts -- how rare, how beautiful!&lt;br /&gt;God, I'll never comprehend them!&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't even begin to count them ---&lt;br /&gt;any more than I could count the sand of the sea.&lt;br /&gt;Oh, let me rise in the morning, and live always with You!&lt;br /&gt;And please, God, do away with wickedness for good!&lt;br /&gt;                                                                                 Personalization of Psalm 139:19 MSG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can find me:&lt;br /&gt;on the web at &lt;a title="http://www.footstepsofaprodigal.blogspot.com/" href="http://www.footstepsofaprodigal.blogspot.com/"&gt;www.footstepsofaprodigal.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;email at &lt;a title="mailto:Junewren@aol.com" href="mailto:Junewren@aol.com"&gt;Junewren@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;left&gt; &lt;a href="http://s602.photobucket.com/albums/tt109/maddiemac22/?action=view&amp;amp;current=siggie.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt109/maddiemac22/siggie.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://s602.photobucket.com/albums/tt109/maddiemac22/?action=view&amp;amp;current=HEART-1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt109/maddiemac22/HEART-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/left&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6967514362681063908-1397964073939913881?l=footstepsofaprodigal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://footstepsofaprodigal.blogspot.com/feeds/1397964073939913881/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://footstepsofaprodigal.blogspot.com/2009/05/introduction-to-footsteps-of-prodigal.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6967514362681063908/posts/default/1397964073939913881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6967514362681063908/posts/default/1397964073939913881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://footstepsofaprodigal.blogspot.com/2009/05/introduction-to-footsteps-of-prodigal.html' title='Introduction to Footsteps of a Prodigal'/><author><name>Footsteps of a Prodigal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05755859408154894263</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
