Scripture for Prodigals:
The 7 Promises
Jeremiah 31:16-17: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work (raising of your children, prayer) shall be rewarded, says the LORD, and they (your children) shall come back from the land of the enemy. There is hope in your future, says the LORD, that your children shall come back to their own border (place of peace and safety and well-being)."
(Amplified Bible)
Isaiah 49:25: “I’m the one who’s on your side, defending your cause, rescuing your children.” (MSG)

Psalm 91:11-12: “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands, they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.” (NIV)
Isaiah 54:13: “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.” (NIV)

Luke 15:11-32: The Parable of the Prodigal Son
