God,

I'm praying for the one who isn't speaking to me. Wherever they sleep tonight, keep them safe. Soften what's hard between us. And when they're ready to come home, let my arms be open.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
