I’m grateful to God that everything we place into the hands of Christ is safe, including our children, our marriages, our families, andevery part of our lives. He is faithful to keep what we entrust to Him. 

And yes, I believe that He can bring discomfort, even misery, into the lives of those who are far from Him. It’s not to destroy them, but to awaken them. So I say, hasten the misery, Lord, of those who are far away from You. 

Let every false comfort disappear. Let every road that leads away from You be a dead end. Let every lie of happiness that this world offers fall flat until they come to themselves, remember Your love, and come running home. 

Say it in faith today: Lord, do whatever it takes to bring my loved ones home. God is faithful. God will answer. Pray this prayer today. Pray it now. 

It’s time to pray.
