Jeremiah 31:20
"Is not Ephraim my dear son in whom I delight? Although often I speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him," declares the Lord.
I have prayed this prayer myself, for my own grown child, with whom I had a strained relationship.
Since then, my relationship with this child has improved tremendously: God answered my prayer so graciously. When I stepped back and let God work in her heart, and responded to her in the way God would, gently and graciously, then God worked in her heart and thinking processes and mended our relationship. Praise God! He gave me the benefit, and He gets all the glory.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
