"Psalms are Balms for the Soul"
-Lisa Pritchard
Do you need healing, encouragement, or peace?
Read the Psalms, and let them lead you to the feet
of the Lord.

Are you a prodigal now or have you been in the past? Are you praying for a prodigal? Do you know someone who has never known Jesus? I can answer 'yes' to all of these questions. What about you? If you can too, you are in the right place. I created Praying Prodigals for four reasons:
-
to help others discover their desire to come back to Jesus.
-
to inspire others to persevere in prayer over their prodigal(s).
-
to encourage believers in their daily walk with Jesus.
-
to inform those who don’t know about Jesus.
I hope you will read the blogs, listen to the playlist and voice recordings, and watch some of the short reels. Be refreshed and pray on!

On April 15, 2020 I drew this sketch. I have no artistic ability whatsoever, but when I asked God to help me create what I felt in my heart, He did. I was a prodigal going through a rough patch with more to come. I didn't know then that He would eventually lead me to start this website. I pray to encourage other prodigals to come back. If you are praying for a prodigal this site is for you too. He is my refuge, the answer to all my prayers, and available to everyone.
Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart.
~Psalm 37:4
"Pen to paper patterns a path from pandemonium to peace and produces a powerful portal to a protected paradise."
~ Lisa M. Pritchard
So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate. Luke 15:20-24 (NASB1995)
