I realized I'd forgotten to mention a few other things we can still do while we wait for our prodigals to return.

May God Himself be the one who keeps interceding for you, and your children. This morning I was reading, in Ezekial 20 about God acting out of who He is, not by our actions ... He is a compassionate God, slow to anger. At the risk of taking verses out of context, I also read Jer 33:26 in the Msg where it says "The last word is, I will have mercy on them." I have a "surrogate daughter" who would not be considered as walking in His way, and I am claiming that mercy for her. She is an addict and I believe she might die an addict, but I know that she has connected with God. And our job is to continue loving them as Jesus would.

God is truly good. He doesn't waste any experience in our lives, but uses it in some way. Believing that He will bring good out of the challenges your family is going through as well as for our own. xoSusan Barclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668380401591029520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-25278356142113096302019-03-05T05:34:50.927-07:002019-03-05T05:34:50.927-07:00Hi Susan.

We are in a place I never thought we'd be in also. Your blog is filled with hope, perhaps even more than you realize and is what I needed to read this morning.Gloria Lynn Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144091313075005581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-42953055072324116882019-03-04T11:17:13.860-07:002019-03-04T11:17:13.860-07:00The message of your blog strikes close to my heart...The message of your blog strikes close to my heart as well, Susan. Thank you for writing so honestly and wisely on this topic. I often say the "Oh, My Jesus Prayer," which is said in the Catholic Church as part of the Rosary. The Blessed Virgin Mary taught the following prayer to the children in Fatima the third time she appeared to them, which was on July 13, 1917: "Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of mercy."<br /><br />This prayer can be said as part of the Rosary or by itself. I pray this often, especially in regard to family and loved ones. I am sharing this prayer as one of the faith traditions I've come to appreciate and adopt since I became Catholic in 1975.
