A Prayer for a Mother and a Daughter

Dear Jesus,

     We thank You for Your guidance and for placing us at just the right place and at just the right time to be used by You to comfort those in need.  We thank You for giving us ears to hear, a heart to feel for the hurting, and even the time to listen.  We thank You for our brothers and sisters in Your Name all over the world.  And thank You also for Errin, who reached out in Your Name to a woman in need of prayer tonight.  A woman nervous and confused as she seeks to be reunited with her prodigal daughter.  We ask that You will make Your manifest presence felt at this meeting.  Open the hearts of both mother and daughter to receive one another with joy and to pour out love one to another.  Help them both find the words to say and more than that to forgive one another.  Help them both to know and understand Your grace.  And to find a renewed relationship with each other.  Give them the grace to endure the struggles that are ahead of them.  And let them not forget to forgive.  Help them hold onto the joy of this moment and never take for granted that this opportunity does not present itself to all in this situation, nor does it often present itself more than once.  Help them work through this together.  Your Word says that it is Your will, Jesus, that the hearts of the parents be turned back to their children and that the hearts of the children be turned back to their parents.  This is one of those times, Lord!  The hearts are turning back toward each other.  Help them restore their relationship to one another.  And help them find a saving relationship with You.
     We love You, Lord Jesus!  And we thank You for allowing us to be a part and a witness to such an awesome occasion!  Thank You!

Amen
