“At the time of our creation, God knit into you and me all we would need to fight the battle for our children’s return.” Today Stacy speaks with our Mississippi State Coordinator, Teresa Newcomer. Teresa has walked through many storms in this life and she is going to point us to the hope that is strong and trustworthy, an anchor for our souls. God is so good! This episode will encourage everyone who is looking for hope, especially hope for prodigals.
Scriptures (NIV):
As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. Psalm 71:14
Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip. Isaiah 60:4
This is what the LORD says: “Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” declares the LORD. “They will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your descendants,” declares the LORD. “Your children will return to their own land.” Jeremiah 31:16-17
And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:7-8
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Acts 17:24-25

Teresa this really helps me as my oldest son Matt is a prodigal and I just hang on and believe God has a plan.
Becky! It’s so good to hear from you. Hope all
Is well in Idaho. We are enjoying New Mexico. Yes! We as moms of prodigals have HOPE because our Mighty God has promised not to leave us or forsake us and that promise is for our children who have fallen away from their faith. The enemy wants to kill, steal and destroy them but Jesus came that they may have abundant life. John 10:10. Thank you, Jesus, for the abundant life you have planned for Matt. Reveal
It to him in your perfect time. In your precious name, amen. ❤️
Amazing testimony!
Thank you for your comment Angela. It’s truly incredible how God can work in our children’s hearts as we pray. If you’re not in a Moms in Prayer group yet, you can find out more here: https://momsinprayer.org/new-to-moms-in-prayer/ God bless you.
Thank you Angela! I pray that God uses each of us for His Glory as we wait and watch for the return of our children. God has an amazing appointment for each of them. Our appointment is to pray, pray, pray. Thank you Jesus for Angela and her faith in you and commitment to pray for her prodigal. In your sweet name, amen. ❤️

Thank you Jacqueline. Praying with other moms in a Moms in Prayer group is such a blessing. I encourage everyone to find a group or start one with just one other mom. God is hearing and answering our prayers for our children.
Dearest Teresa,
What a message of hope and encouragement to all moms, whether or not their children are prodigals! Yes our God is Faithful to our generation and to our children’s generation and to their children’s generation. Hallelujah!
Deborah, I’m so thankful you were encouraged. Yes, God is Faithful! I am agreeing with you in prayer for the next generation to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.Amen .
So powerful and a great reminder that God is always at work in our children, even when we don’t see it. I am encouraged to press on in prayer. Thank you!
Thanks, Perri. God is the ultimate Sustainer. He alone can give the strength we need to have hope and faith in life’s strongest storms. ❤️
Oh Stacey and Teresa. I so needed to hear this today. I am fighting, in prayer, for my adult children who are in deep darkness, in a deep valley right now.
Thank you so much. God bless you both!
So thankful God spoke and brought hope to you, Terri. Standing in agreement with your prayers for your children to come back to their faith. ❤️
