2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
God,
Father, You know where my child is tonight, even when I don't. I miss who they were and I love who they are. I can't make them come home, but You can reach places I can't. Follow them. Send someone they'll listen to. Keep them safe while they wander, and turn their heart back toward You. Keep my heart soft so the door is open when they come. Help me wait with hope and not bitterness.
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.
But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
