Two people share how their mothers' prayers and spiritual mentors pulled them back from self-destructive paths. Both credit God's persistent love and refusal to let them go, even when they were lost.
This is where, despite the fact that I wasn't praying, the power of prayer is I had a praying mom.
Oh yes, I know my mom saved me. Like, if she hadn't been warring for me for 20 years, I swear, you know, we have the same Father. God is our Father. But I am telling you, you and I have lived parallel lives. I did the same thing. It's like anything I could do to destroy my life and prove that I'm not worthy of God's love, I would do it. And And yes, God didn't stop. He just chased me down. And it sounds like he chased you down. Yes.
Yeah, we just happen to have the same daddy.
Yeah, exactly.
He would not leave me alone. And so he sent this woman, a mighty woman of God, who saw me beyond what I was doing, beyond how I was living. And she said, I need her phone number to her husband.
