God,
My son walked away from church years ago, and from me some days too. I haven't stopped praying. Lord, You know the road he's on. Put the right people on it. Let him feel Your kindness before he hears anyone's sermon. Keep my porch light on, and my heart soft.
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.
