A prayer for loved ones far from God written by Debbie McDaniel, read by Alissa Forsberg.

If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and will be done

for you. John 157 As believers, we know where true hope is found,

God reminds us again and again that prayer is powerful.

Praying God's word over those we love is speaking his truth over their lives as it builds our own

anything, the dear loved ones come to you. Help us remember that you loved them more than we

ever could, and that you desire to extend your great love and forgiveness to the deepest part

of their soul. We are forever grateful for your healing power, for your gift of mercy, and your

message of hope. Thank you, Lord, that nothing is too difficult for you. Thank you that your power

protocol to return, that you look for his arrival to lavishly celebrate that he's come home.

We praise you for your redeemer and rescuer, Savior and Lord. We know and believe that there's no

pit so deep that your love can't reach us still. We understand that your mercies are new every morning,
