Prodigal Prayers: 52 Weeks of Praying Over the Prodigal by Patsy Burnette isn’t just for the prodigal. It’s for you, the one praying for the prodigal. This book is based on the Word of God, and it is unique because it goes a step further by providing action steps to help you learn Scripture and hide it in your heart. It’s a study that’s engaging and never feels tedious.

Is the prodigal in your life still a long way off? God sees him, and God sees you, too. Some days it seems so obvious that these are the end times. This makes it easy to be tempted to despair if someone you love has not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Thanks be to God, Patsy Burnette has done again, what she does so well: encourage. This time through her book Prodigal Prayers: 52 Weeks of Praying Over the Prodigal.

Yet this book is not only for the spiritual prodigal, but it will also speak to you and help you intercede in family relationships, friendships, and your personal relationship with Father God. It provides 52 devotions, each discussing the specific thing you’re praying for. It’s followed by a prayer that you can simply read aloud because it sounds like you. Prayer in such a beautiful and proper way. Not begging, not whining, but speaking God’s Word back to Him. As you speak it back to Him, you hear it yourself, and you strengthen your faith. Then there’s space to write the Word and write a prayer. Finally, there’s a coloring page with a scripture to help you actively be still, listen, and wait on God’s perfect timing.

This book is so beautiful in the way that everything comes full circle, as I believe God intends. You pray for the prodigal, and as you pray, you learn, and as you learn, you build up your spirit man. If you’re looking for an effortless, quick fix, the book is not for you. However, if you know prayer is powerful but you need help with not growing weary, then get this book. If your powerful prayers have shifted to begging and pleading rather than standing strong on the Word of God and boldly going to His throne, this book will help. This book is for you if you want a structured plan to be an intercessor in the year ahead.
