Prayer of ‘self-surrender’ provides joyful surprise for woman inmate connecting with her children

You may not be aware of this, women now make up the majority of inmates going to prison, not just in California but nationwide.

And many of these women have young children; so the separation and the anxiety of not knowing where your children are or who is caring for them can be especially painful and difficult.

In this video, you’ll meet Christian Science Chaplain Chris who has the opportunity to meet regularly with a woman who was anguished at being separated from her two young children. Chris explains what happened to her, but in a nutshell the woman is introduced to a form of prayer that produces some unexpected results–that bless her and her children.

If you need some inspiration right about now, or if you wonder how simply a new approach to prayer can actually improve your life–or the life of others–then the short message in this video is for you.
