I’ve been so blessed in my life to have been given the opportunity to hear many people in recovery tell their stories. I was reminded of one that I heard by the psalmist’s words, “On the day I called, you answered me; you increased my strength of soul.” It was an amazing testimony of a young man sentenced to life in prison without parole. But, one day after quite a few years in prison, he thought maybe he could be a better person, even if he would never be a free man. He prayed. In his story, this was the turning point of his life. After this prayer, miracle after miracle happened in his life, and after about 20 or so years in prison, he was released a free man. He understood the power God had in his life.
