Quotes:

“So people ask me, what is a prodigal? To me, a prodigal is…a child that is way off the path that you hoped and dreamed they would be.” -Laine Lawson Craft

“If you’re out there today, and you have been praying way longer than 15 years, this is what I want you to know. Your prodigal has until their last breath. We tend to think, hurry up, hurry up, God. But listen, they’re in the middle of their story. It’s not the end.” – Laine Lawson Craft

“Prayer with God is our way to partner with Him. The biggest thing we can do is trust Him and partner with Him.” – Laine Lawson Craft

“It kind of empowered me as a mom because I was feeling defeated. But when I would pray through the blood of Christ, it would give me the extra hope I needed that day.” – Laine Lawson Craft
