God,
My daughter used to sing in the church choir. Now she says she doesn't believe any of it. I can't argue her back to You, and I've stopped trying. So I'm asking You to go where I can't. Meet her in the quiet moments, and keep my door and my heart open for the day she comes home.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
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.
