Almighty God, in protecting America’s Christian children from prodigal paths, please work through the instruction of their parents to help them become firmly rooted in Christ and established in their faith (Colossians 2:6-7).  

Heavenly Father, knowing that it is easy for prodigal individuals to lose hope and walk in instability, please give every prodigal soul living in my community a vision of how fruitful and firmly planted they can become by knowing You and meditating on Your Word (Psalm 1:2-3).  

Father, please deliver today’s young adults from “the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth,” especially since these entanglements can lead them toward a path of prodigal living (Matthew 13:22).
