Consider this in your thinking this morning .

One of the hardest things you’ll ever do is watch someone you love walk away from the truth.

You raised them to know the Word. You prayed. You did your best. And now? Silence. Resistance. Distance.

You’ve watched them drift. Change. Deconstruct.

But here’s something we as parents don't always realize...

Your child can grow up in a Christian home, go to church, know all the right answers, and still live like an orphan. Still think God is like people at their worst: disappointed, distant, and done. Your child can be deeply loved by God… and never experience it.

They project their past experiences onto a holy God. A teacher who gave up. A church that shamed them. A friend who cut them off.

So they walk away. They shut down. They believe lies about who they are and who God is.

They need you to show them that this is still true:

“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
(Zephaniah 3:17)

That’s the Father they don’t know yet. That’s the Father who still loves them. That’s the Father who hasn’t stopped pursuing them.

So if you're a parent with a prodigal, hear me when I say: Your prayers are not in vain. Your love is not wasted. And the story isn't over.

While you're waiting, remember:
God sings over them. Even now. Even here.
He’s not pacing the floor in frustration.
He’s standing at the door, watching with compassion.

This spoke to me this morning. Perhaps it will speak to someone else.
