Prodigals are stuck.

They are stuck in an addiction, a lifestyle, a hurt, a habit, a lie, a stronghold, a sin. We desperately want them to be unstuck—to have free feet!

What would free feet mean for them?

Blessings

“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners. … He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper” (Psalm 1:1, 3).

Mercy and truth: “All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies” (Psalm 25:10).

Righteousness: “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake” (Psalm 23:3).

Protection: “He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path” (Proverbs 2:8–9).

Solid Under Footing

“For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock” (Psalm 27:5).

Life

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13–14).

“‘Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?’ says the Lord God, ‘and not that he should turn from his ways and live?’” (Ezekiel 18:23).
