Prodigal Prayer Ministry

Praying through the Story of the Prodigal Son

The Father

He was approachable

Luke 15:12 (NKJV)

12a And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’

He was generous and compassionate and it was what He was known for

Luke 15:12 (NKJV)

12b So he divided to them his livelihood.

Luke 15:17–19 NKJV

17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’

He runs at an opportunity to love His son

Luke 15:20 NKJV

20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

Need to pray and find a characteristic for these verses

Luke 15:22–24 NKJV

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

He protected his son

Luke 15:31–32 NKJV

31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”
