Dear Heavenly Father,

There has been so much that has happened lately in our lives. I have been so stressed over all the changes that are taken place that at times I couldn't feel you near me. Even so, Heavenly Father I do know that you have not forsaken me. It is me that feels so far a way. You are right here with me and waiting for me to ask you to take my hand and lead me out of the path of destruction. I have seen the changes that you have brought about to strengthen me along the way.

Father, I have seen lately things where when I have felt my prayers have gone unanswered, yet, when I cried you have dropped messages of your love for me so unconditional and showing me that you aren't far a way, You are right here. Father, I have pled with you to bring back a friend that is so very dear to me. Father, everyone around me has said to forget him and run from him because he is not worth worrying about. Father I have sensed at times you was telling me to not let go of him and keep praying for him.

Yesterday my Heavenly Father, I saw where my prayers were being answered. The tears that were shed at three in the morning over the last few months. Father I have been pleading with you to please hear my prayers and touch his heart. The pleading from my heart felt cries to melt his heart so that he would see the need to come to you Heavenly Father and lean on you to pull him back in your loving arms. Father, I pleaded with you through all the heart ache to please don't affect his medical licence. Father you heard my cries about his practice and left that in tact. Thank you Father!

Oh Father, the call yesterday brightened my spirits. My heart begun to fill with Joy knowing that you had worked in his heart all during those weeks of praying. Father, not knowing what was happening with him Father was very heart breaking. Abba Father, at times I felt like he was in a self destructive mode and his license was in danger. Loving Father, at times when I would hear from him, I felt like I couldn't trust him. He was coming in and out of my life causing the tender wound not to heal from the inside out. Father, he would call and the next thing I knew when I had started to trust him again he would disappear once again. Hearing the chosen song as a reminder to pray for him would cause pain to shoot through me. Father now hearing the song has brought tears of joy.

Thank You Jesus, when my lost dear friend wanted to tell me all about how YOU HEAVENLY FATHER, had been working on his heart and how You had led him back to his first love. Father he had no clue of my pleas that I had asked you to please do. Father I knew You was working on him for him to call me first with his decision to accept You as his personal Savior. Father the tears that were shed and the hurt I went through giving him up and having to take my child elsewhere for medical care. Father was an answer to prayer. Father, I know now that if something would happen to him, and You would call him home that he would be home with You. Dear Jesus, I know that Cyndy and Dad must have been looking down and saw how he finally answered your call to come unto You and trust You as Lord. Father, the joy that filled my heart is beyond what I could honestly describe here. Father, the peace that has been put in my heart. The power of prayer... The joy of life so rich and free... Father when you removed me from his circle You turned his life around to where he will now share his faith with parents of children that are not expected to live... Father may he be a witness to Your tender mercy so rich and true! Father I thank You and praise You. In Jesus Name , Your wayward daughter
