The Prodigal’s Lament
Posted by appolus on April 23, 2026
The Prodigalβs Lament is a journey from ruin to return. This is my story. I am 61 and have been saved for 35 years, yet I gave my heart to the Lord as a small boy. As a teenager I walked away from my precious Lord and wandered far, far away and would find myself in pigsty of life, the very bottom of the bottomless pit! I gloriously returned to my Father’s house at the age of 26, and He threw His arms around me and His almighty love and forgiveness ruined me for this life. I wrote this a number of years after my return to the Lord.
It begins in darkness , a soul laid bare, surrounded by loss, silence, and the consequences of wandering far from my Father. But in that place of breaking, a cry arose in my spirit⦠and everything turns.
Because the story does not end with the prodigal’s return……
It ends with The Father running.
Not rejection, but mercy. Not distance, but restoration. The robe, the ring, the feast β all waiting.
If you know a prodigal, share this with them.
And if you are one⦠the way back is still open.
