Pam Padgett ... Member of body of Christ & spiritual gifts of helps
I was raised in the Catholic church and attended Catholic school for 5 years. But I had little interest in religion or God. I always thought the Catholic church was "spooky".
*****
Then when I was 14 years old one of the boys in my class was killed in a motorcycle accident on his way to school.
For the first time I realized that, even at my young age, I could die!
*****
I was very shaken and "knew" very strongly that my ONLY HOPE was God to somehow save me.
I started crying out ...
"I know there is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ... but I don't know which One I'm supposed to pray to. So please get this prayer to the right ONE, because YOU'RE my ONLY hope."
*****
In my prayer I told God that I didn't know if it was even possible, but if HE could somehow keep me from going to hell, to please do it.
This "please" was a strong plea, begging God to do this if it was at all possible.
I didn't know if it was possible ... but knew that GOD was my only hope.

And I was greatly helped ...
I was born again!
