Hope for Parents of Prodigal Daughters
Support Group

In addition to Galatians 6:2, the Bible also tells us in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 that Two are better than one because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. I know that it is probably difficult and painful to talk about your prodigal daughter, and maybe even embarrassing. That is why a support group is so valuable—everyone understands what you are feeling because they have the same feelings and concerns.

We need each other. God never planned for us to go through the trials of life alone. My book, Praying for Your Prodigal Daughter has discussion questions for families and support groups at the end of each chapter, and chapter eighteen discusses the value of a support group. My husband and I have started a Hope for Parents of Prodigal Daughters Support Group in our home and have developed some tools to help you start one in your area.

As support groups develop, we will set up a blog so you can chat with other groups around the nation. Parents have expressed interest in starting a support group in Ohio, Washington, and Hawaii, and ours is in Southern California. So when you get ready to start your support group, be sure to let us know by going to the contact tab on this website. You can also chat with me on my blog janetthompson.blogspot.com.

We would like to stay in touch with you so we can pray for you and pass along any tips we learn about leading our group. If you would like to receive our monthly newsletter, which will keep you informed of new developments in the support groups and other happenings in my ministry, About His Work Ministries, please click here.

All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (MSG).
