A Prayer at the Crossroads
She stands at the crossroads, though she may not realize it.
The road she’s on has led her to destruction, to isolation, and to a brokenness that feels too heavy to bear. But the moment has come, a pivotal point in time where a decision must be made. I know this moment well—I’ve been there before, standing at the edge of my own crossroads, desperate for mercy, longing for change.
It’s easy to think that if we just keep walking down the same path, things will get better. But I’ve learned that sometimes, the only way forward is to stop, look around, and face the truth of where we are.
Like the prodigal son, she needs to come to her senses. I pray that she will recognize that this life she’s been living is not the life she was meant for. It’s not the life that brings healing, peace, or joy. It’s a life built on surviving, not thriving. A life shaped by brokenness, not wholeness.
I pray for clarity. I pray that she will recognize the weight of the choices she’s been making, the consequences of living in a space that isn’t leading her to restoration.
Lord, I ask for mercy—mercy that only You can give. Mercy to open her eyes to the path she’s been walking, and mercy to lead her to the new road—the road of healing, restoration, and peace.
I also pray for the strength to make that decision. The road to healing isn’t easy. It requires giving up old ways, old patterns, old versions of ourselves. I pray that she finds the courage to turn away from the brokenness she’s clung to, and step into the unknown, trusting that You will lead her every step of the way.
God, I pray that she will no longer be passed by in her suffering. That she will be still long enough to recognize that You are calling her. I pray that she will hear Your voice, that quiet whisper calling her out of the darkness, offering rest for her weary soul.
She may not be ready now, but when she is, I will be here, praying for her and cheering her on as she takes those first steps toward a new life.
And for now, I will hold onto hope, knowing that You are always there—at the crossroads, waiting with mercy and grace for anyone who will turn toward You.
