When I was eighteen years old I was an atheist. I was also dating a sweet young Christian girl. She told me she prayed that I would find God and she put me on the prayer list at her church. An entire Baptist Church in west Texas prayed for me.
I dated another Baptist a few years later. West Texas is ripe with them you know. She never said she prayed for me, but I’m sure she did.
Did my close friend from college that is a Seventh Day Adventist pray for me? I’m sure my cousins in Indiana prayed for me. Did my best friend from high school who came to the Lord before me pray for me?
My wife married me when I was through atheism and into my Buddhist phase. She prayed for me. Her church – the same one we are members of now - prayed for me. The pastor and his wife prayed for me.
In the face of my indifference and hostility they all kept praying.
Thank you.
