A 22-year-old girl bravely prayed for an armed attacker in the middle of the night. The suspect then miraculously let her go after their prayer.
Encounter With Armed Attacker
In a city in the Philippines, Jen experienced the scary moment of encountering a rapist when she was still working at a BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) company. Her work schedule back then forced her to go home before dawn. Hence, she had no choice but to walk her way home after riding in a van from the workplace toward her residence.

Perhaps the suspect watched Jen during the previous days. Because one day, as she did her daily routine walking her way back home at two in the morning from the main road, an armed man suddenly grabbed her. The man ambushed her, held her right arm, and pointed his sharp weapon at her.
At first, the suspect pretended that some people were chasing him, so he grabbed her. Although terrified, Jen subtly cooperated with the man and he gave her directions to where they should go. Then the man stopped at the area where he wanted them to stop. Jen then tried to talk with him to prevent him from pursuing his evil intention—to rape her. But the 22-year-old thought of praying for the armed man instead.

Praying With The Criminal
So, Jen asked if she could pray for the armed man. And while this was happening, her brother called her. The man told her not to answer the call, but she still answered it and hid her phone in her back pocket on call. That’s when she held the man’s hands, and she prayed for him.
“Lord, whatever is this person’s problem, please help him and touch his heart,” Jen prayed. “Make him an answered prayer to others.”
After Jen’s prayer, the man suddenly calmed down and amazingly allowed her to leave.
