23-Year-Old Drug Dealer Tried Praying And God Answered

A 23-year-old drug dealer earning $700 a day tried praying to a God he didn’t know, and God answered in a mysterious yet powerful way.

Dysfunctional Home

Ryan Prasad grew up in a difficult environment because of his alcoholic and violent dad. As the oldest child, he felt helpless watching his mom abused by his dad. As a result, he became an insecure, unforgiving, and angry teenager. During high school, the teen turned to alcohol and marijuana to cope with his pain. But the power and acceptance it gave him led him deeper into the addiction.

Becoming A Drug Dealer

Then in 2010, Ryan discovered easy money in drug dealing. So, he became a drug dealer and soon dropped out of college to earn money. It then became his goal to build his own empire—money, cars, women, and power. Ryan was able to achieve it with the quick cash from drug dealing, but he struggled deep inside.

Ryan found no way out of his chosen lifestyle and hated what he became.

Praying To God

“Reality was I’m probably gonna have to stay here until I go to jail, or I die,” he recounted. And so, out of desperation, Ryan prayed to the God he didn’t know.

“God, if You’re there, I need You to help me out of my lifestyle and what I’m doing,” he desperately told God. “Because I don’t know how I’m going to get out or what to do.”

Then finally, Ryan got arrested in 2016 and faced six years in prison. But despite the odds, he hoped that what happened would spark change in him and start a new beginning. He then acknowledged that “God was like actually working in this.” Soon, the court released him on bail to a Christian recovery house. And as he regularly attended church and someone prayed over him, the Presence of God overcame him. His craving for drugs then disappeared at once. Soon, Ryan surrendered everything to Christ and got baptized.

Watch how God turned things around for Ryan.

Award-winning actress and producer Viola Davis specifically prayed to God for a man who had all the qualities she wanted in a husband. To her surprise, weeks later, she met a man who had all those qualities and invited her to church.

Viola Davis Prays For A Husband

In an interview with Oprah, Viola shared how God answered her what seemed like an impossible prayer for a husband. Apparently, a friend encouraged her to ask and pray to God for a husband. And not just a husband but with all the qualities and attributes she wanted in a partner.

Viola was astounded hearing from her friend that she could go specific with God. Her friend even warned her to “be careful” about the particular attributes she would ask Him. But that is what she did and prayed explicitly to God.

“And I went and I got on my knees, and I did,” the actress recalled. “I said I want a big black man from the South who’s probably been married before, has kids — because I don’t want any pressure in that department.”

Attributes

Viola then continued to detail her specific requests to God for a lifetime partner.

“Someone who has maybe been an actor who understands the artistic community. Someone who goes to church and loves God,” she said.

Then the award-winning actress made a deal with God. She prayed that if He would answer her prayer, she would “start going to church” and be “committed to it.”

Three weeks later, Viola met Davis Tennon in Texas, who was an actor and a former football player. Moreover, she gushed that he had the qualities she specifically asked God for in a husband.

“..been married, raised his children on his own,” she recalled. “And I thought to myself, ‘Whoa.'”

What’s more, was that Julius invited her to church. Soon after, they dated and got married.

Today, Viola and Davis are working together in JuVee Productions. They create inspirational contents and even produced a true-to-life story of the “2015 mass shooting during a Bible study” at a church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Further, when Viola won Best Supporting Actress in the Oscar in 2017, she credited God for the victory.
