Father in Heaven, our sister Marge’s daughter, Esther, has drifted away from you, all caught up in her career and other personal concerns. Please draw her back to you, and heed her mother’s prayer. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Marge, if it’s any comfort to you, speaking from my own experience, it took me some thirty years to get back on track, once school and college had finished with me. Besides, among young people, it’s common to delight in worldly things and neglect eternal things–especially in our extremely worldly and material culture.
Keep praying, and we will join in your prayers. Many mothers, mine included, were blessed to see their children come back to Christ’s sheepfold, where we belong. You have good grounds for hope.
