I met a lady on the streets while observing my regular prayer walk in the estate a couple of years ago. She had initiated a conversation with me when she noticed that I was praying.
She proceeded to inquire about who I was and which brand of GOD I was having a conversation with. I gave her a synopsis of my identity because I had noticed her in the estate too.
Then she informed me about her spiritual status. She was a Christian until she lost two of her family members to terminal illnesses. She had prayed, fasted, tithed, believed God for a miracle but at last, it ended in graves.
She said God failed her and she was disappointed at him. She was done serving a horrible father.
I listened to her where we sat on the road, I allowed her to evacuate her heart without trying to defend God or speak Christianese.
She cried during the conversation, brought out a cigarette to puff while I listened calmly.

Forty-five minutes after, she gazed at me and asked if I had anything to say after all I am a Pastor. I smiled and said NO. Then she uttered the words "HOW COME"?.
I smiled again and responded with the words, & #39;your anger is legitimate, I would have reacted the same way if I were in your shoes, so I am not shocked you feel this way I would have been shocked if you felt differently& #39;.
She gave me a suffocating hug, took a deep breath then mustered the words, & #39;thank you& #39;. Thank you for listening. Thank you for not throwing scriptures at me. Thank you for not judging me. Thank you for not asking " if I pay my tithes and when last I paid".
Those were some of the statements she had heard before our conversation.
My parting words to her was & #39;take your time with God, vent at him, vent to him and while you are at it, I will stand in the gap for you in prayers& #39;. I am also available for more chats.

We met a couple of times and I am elated to announce that she is back with her father.
