I lost my dog today! And I got a phone call from someone who said they had him. I also pray I get a phone call from my prodigal telling me he’s coming home! Awesome word, prayers for Palmer!’s healing!

Please don’t ever apologize for what the Lord has you share ! I rejoice with you over Palmer coming home , because of you remaining so vulnerable with your Front Porch Friends He has opened the windows of heaven to you Sweet Sister.... be careful and wise with His precious gifts ... In Christ ... Infinity Renae Ferguson ❤️🎶👵🏽🙏🏽

Well, I can hardly see through my tears. I do have dogs that I love so very much. I could feel your desperation to find Palmer and I could feel your overwhelming JOY when you saw him!! Now...let me tell you how your word helped me this morning. Not five minutes before turning you on, I was walking through the house saying, "Father, direct our steps. Father, direct our steps." When you read Psalms 37:23, I busted. I cried and cried for I heard Him saying He heard me. He is and will direct our steps. Another aspect of your story...When you said that The Lord said to you, "Watch the dog", I remembered a couple of months ago when He spoke to me about trust. He said for me to "watch my dogs". They never complain if they are hungry and I am lolly-gagging around before feeding them. They will lie down near me and just w.a.i.t. God said, "Watch the dogs". They never worry that I will take care of them. They know I will. That's how He wants me to rest and trust Him. Thank you, Karen. Thank you for sharing your Palmer story. It has wrecked me.

Karen I want you to know my prodigal son came to the Lord this week. He is 48 years old and God showed him truth. Praising God for my miracle for if you knew how low he had gotten you would know it was a miracle. Prayed the word and God answered! Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. I got my feather a few weeks ago along with your book and both were encouraging for me. Blessings to you. Your ministry matters!!

So much has happened in my life in the past two months, God is moving so fast and doing so much it’s almost mind blowing. two months ago my youngest daughter broke up with her very bad boyfriend and she is now back home serving the Lord going down the right path and then last week I lost my mom to a heart attack, but praise God through this tragedy me and my sister have been reconciled going on two weeks God is healing our relationship and it has been wonderful to have her back in my life. And my husband is now back to reading the Bible. I give God all the praise and all the glory for doing these amazing blessings in my life I give him all the glory and the praise. I thank you sister Karen for your prayers after each message that you give us on your front porch I know that has built my faith and trust in God. God bless you.

What a wonderful story of the faithfulness of our God. Im so glad Palmer is ok. Please pray for us trying to get a house closed on. It has been 12 wks. So much...we have to be out of our rental within 2 wks and dont know where we will go. We have my motherinlaw with dementia with us and my 15yr old daughter. Plz help us pray for favor and all obstacles to be moved. Our file will be illuminated to all who are over it. I so love the Ramp in Cleveland.

Karen, that is so true what you said. God does care about every detail in our lives. our little kitty we adopted had so much wrong with her, that I did not think she would make it. I prayed over her and laid hands on her and she was healed. Later because she is a little girl, I had her Spaded, she healed ok inside, but there was one little spot that just would not heal, again, I laid hands on her and ask the Lord to heal her, every day I did the same thing. When I checked her tummy the next day, the infection was gone, her tummy was healed. HEALED, Karen as if there was not anything wrong at all. God cares for every little and big thing in our lives. Glory to God for everything.

Thank you for sharing your “Palmer story”. 💖 I can understand your desperate feeling for Palmer’s safety and return home. I had a similar experience once with my Australian Shepherd. I prayed and after a few days he was returned to me and chained back up at his doghouse. We live close to the road and he was bad to chase vehicles when we let him lose. Thank you so much for the scriptures you shared...especially Psalm 37:23 , reminding me God cares! I’m in a lot of pain tonight with my back and hip. Please pray for my total healing manifested that I will be able to be more and do more for the Lord and my family. 💞💖💞 Love and Hugs!

I absolutely loved this story and the reminder that God cares about EVERY detail of our lives.

This WAS the word I needed to hear today,Miss Karen hit the nail on the head. Thank you JESUS!!!!!

Love your”homeward bound” devotion. Over and over God has shown me how much He cares about every detail of our lives ,and that which concerns us concerns him. God is so faithful, loving and kind towards those who love Him. So happy God led Palmer home. Blessings ♥️🙏🙌

That was just precious. I’m always amazed, every single time, how HE can continue to increase our faith! Hallelujah to the Lamb ✝️

Thankyou I needed this! I thank are God for are dogs they are joy an comfort from god.

I’m calling out the names of lost beloved ones! Come Home! Come Home to Jesus!! He’s listening! Thank you for your encouragement week after week!

Amen! God loves our pets too! I had a sick kitty I had to put down this past Sat. it was SO hard!!! Nothing is too small to ask for with our MIGHTY God!! Thank you Jesus!!! 😍😍😍

Thank you Mrs. Karen. Your front porch ministry has carried me through an almost 3 year storm. I am so grateful for you. The storm has passed. Joy has returned to my life. God is a keeper of His promises.

THANK YOU, sweet Karen, for your story. I would have looked franticly for Palmer too. For the past year I have been praying fervently that God would touch my daughter's heart,, soften it that she would not keep me out of her life and allow me to see my beautiful two grandchildren again! Sometimes I feel that I have lost them forever. Your story and Scriptures have renewed my hope and faith that God knows the desires of my heart and He will reunite us someday,...hopefully soon! THANK YOU, KAREN!

My sweet friend sent this to me a few months ago and I felt the need to listen again, today. Praying for my husband. God knows the need. Thank you, Karen!

Karen this was a beautiful story. Palmer is a lovely dog and those of us who have a dog we love them dearly also!! I loved how God knows about every little detail of our lives and how He guided you to where Palmer was. I have a prodigal daughter also. We love you Karen. God bless you always

Thank you Karen. I used to watch you on TBN as a child. Your walk with the always drew me back to want to know the Lord like you do. I started watching front porch friends a couple months ago. My husband is using drugs, business has been affected, marriage is on the verge because I believe of infidelity. I'm tired but this encourages me. Thank you for the prodigal dog story.. May God bless you in every area of your life.

My precious friend, let me share a little now happening. After I listened to your beautiful story today, I kept listing to the YT feed, and one of your previous recordings came up from five months earlier in March. Well the scripture you shared then is the one you shared to day, Psalm 37:23 right now things are in a vortex for me, I needed something to steady me. I'm a person of planning and details, I needed to hear that and have it confirmed I'm grateful I heard it by you, I felt Father's heart in your words, I surrender to Daddy. Thank you!

this story was simply amazing : i have prayed for the return of my dogs many times and i’m so thankful God always brought them home . So this story hit home for me and made me cry 😭. thank you for always sharing your life with us . we love you and appreciate you praying for our prodigals .

Yes I would love prayer for my husband Manuel Rodriguez to restore marriage and my daughter that a particle she's going to come back home in Jesus name

The Lost Sheep is my prodigal husband's favourite parable! Thank you so much. I am watching the road, to see him come over the hill back home. Wounded but whole.

Thank You for this Inspiring story, especially when one gets weary waiting for their Prodigal Son, Jonathan to Come Home. And for my family to be restored.

This touched me deeply. I cried through most of it lol. My oldest is so lost and needs prayer. Thank you for these great moments. I love ya to pieces! 😊

So happy you found your fur baby. I never thought I would be so attached to a dog. My dog ran away after been scared by a fallen tree. I was devastated. He made his way home by dinner time after I spent hours looking for him. I ran to the door after getting a call from my daughter that her friend found him and he was on the porch. Praying just like God brought my dog home he will do the same for my husband. Thank you for the story. Blessings to you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I'm listening from Crystal Lake , Illinois and I'm so glad I found Karen or I should say God put her ministry's purposely because he knew my needs as well as my entire family , my friends and everyone I know has heard of her and how wonderful her ministry IS !

Good timely message. Mine have been out there for a long time. We see glimmers of hope, and then it turns and nothing looks like they are ever coming. I sincerely thank you. Still watching the road. :)

Beautiful story about your beloved Palmer. Thank you for this encouragement

So thankful Palmer is so loved. Delighted in the details Karen. Praying for the protection of the Gulf states.

Thank you for telling us about Palmer. I have a 10 yr old Golden Retriever, Isaiah, who just had minor surgery!! I was so thankful for the prayers of Gods people. No cancer and I am so thankful that God cares!!! I will be praying for complete recovery and healing for Palmer too I am single with no children so I am so thankful that God cares about what we care about!

My husband and I are praying for our 4 adult children, to come home to God. Your words and God's touched our hearts. We are believing God will draw them to Himself, for their sakes and our grandchildren. We are so blessed by your encouragement and commitment to spreading His Word. Thank you, Karen.

so Blessed by this!!! 😇please keep me and my family in prayer. we are seeking the LORD for direction psalm 37:23

Hello from Las Vegas Nevada. I love your weekly messages, thank you sweet Karen.

Miss Karen, I was at the ladies conference in Tifton Georgia last weekend. You preached to me about my prodigal daughter and your words filled me up to the top and running over with the hope and knowledge of her coming to where the Lord wants her. My three loaves for her are salvation, healing and a forgiving heart. Thank you for blessing me. I've shared this particular talk about your furbaby Palmer to my youngest daughter (not my prodigal) because I do believe it will help her. Thank you for being a dedicated woman of God! Be blessed knowing that you bless others

Yes, let him long for your Presence. That is my constant prayer. Karen, thank you for your encouragement.

My dear friend, thank you so very much for this wonderful prodigal dog story which shows us how God works in our lives. It is good to know Palmer will be alright. These things have a traumatic effect on our pets as well as on us. Your words, and those from the Bible, are encouraging again this week.

I cannot tell you how much I look forward to your Wed. night videos and messages. Each time I am encouraged in the Lord and uplifted. Thank you for sharing your heart tonight, and I am so glad you have your Palmer safely home with you. God truly cares about every part of our lives.

Thank you Karen for always encouraging me to keep believing and keep praying. I’m believing God has heard my prayer for my son and the restoration of his marriage. The roaring lion seeks to devour the home of my grandchildren but I’m fighting him back with the help of many prayer warriors. What God has given NO one can take! God bless you and your ministry. Your book “Watching The Road”was such an inspiration also.

Thank you Karen. He is an on time God and that is an on time word. I appreciate you. Thank you for your prayers. I love the puppies❣ Thankful God watched out for Palmer❣Grace and Shalome to you, your family and the ministry💜

What a beautiful testimony! Thank you, Karen for sharing! You are such a blessing! God bless you!

You are so encouraging and thank you for doing what God prompts you to do. God says in his Word that He talks about how we are to take care of our animals. I'm so glad Palmer is home. I will keep believing for my prodigals. God bless you. ❤

Thank you so much for sharing that reminder that God cares about ALL of the details in our lives! I am so glad you found Palmer and so very glad that you listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. We have never met in person, but I feel like I know you. May God continue to bless and use you to draw others closer to Him! Love in Christ, Helen

Thank you for bringing me to the Word of God. My prodigal son is now in jail for breaking into my own house when I was out of town. He is 41 and spent most of his adult life using drugs. He has abandoned his children and violated my trust. I do believe God can speaks anywhere and rescue anyone and restore relationships. My journey has been long but your message encourages me to fully trust in God’s plans and purposes for both my son and myself. Your messages are so real and reach the hearts of so many. God bless your ministry. Donna Wilson Of Piano Reflections.

Omg Karen! I always listen to your videos. Today I shared your dog story with a very good friend of mine. Her adult son left the house 6 months ago had a baby which is her first grandchild and he totally disowned his mother. My friend has been so depressed that her son would do such a thing. Your story was very powerful for her and gave her Hope!! In the name of Jesus he will come back and talk to his Loving mother! She hasn't even seen a picture of her first grandchild his first child. 🙏😥🙏❤🙏.Thank you! God Bless U!! Amen!

Karen, please give mr. Palmer a kiss from me! He is a pecious gift from God!❤

Sister Karen, thank you for your precious heart and speaking the word of the Lord straight to me through the screen of my phone! I receive what you delivered and I pray your children come home and are used mightily for the Kingdom! God bless you ♥️

Thank you, Karen! You were definitely an answer to prayer for me!

Thank you so much ! as you were sharing this it strengthened me and encouraged what I know is truth! My son was spared the hurricane last night! He is traveling for work so he was right in the path! ....He was called from birth and this story today reminds me that he will return unto his father! He will once again be used for the kingdom! His battle has been great as though a target were placed on him ! His talent is totally from the father! So war has been raged against him! But no way no how is he going to lose! He will no longer pulled and swayed! His name is Jonathan and he is destined to return! Prayer of agreement would so be appreciated! Love and Blessings Elizabeth.

Pray for us in southeast Texas hurricane

Thank you Karen from California. This is very encouraging for me. Your Palmer story is wonderful, revealing Gods faithfulness to us, and all those we deeply care about and things we care about. This is covenant love! Karen Gods heart is so sweet towards us!! I’ve been praying for my 4 adult children to return to the Lord. At sometimes it gets tiring, and difficult. I sure needed to be reminded that God is in all the little details (Psalm 37:23). And Gods faithfulness toward my children in Matthew 6. I love you my precious sister, thank you for partnering with us and giving us such good words and messages that always point back to the heart of our Heavenly Father.

Karen you came to me not long before my mother became very ill.. I earnestly await your message every week..your message is always so meaningful and always speaks to me..I have 2 prodigal grandsons I am praying for..you’re teaching me how to pray and things are starting to happen now that I realize are Godly directed..may God bless you.. Thank you.
