Some people find their calling through success. I found mine in chaos. I am a wife of 35 years, a mother to four adult children, and a grandmother to two beautiful little girls. But the titles don’t tell the whole story. They don’t speak to the sleepless nights, the crises, the moments I sat in a dark room wondering what in the world God was up to, or if He had even forgotten me. The chaos didn’t come all at once.

Have you ever experienced news that rocked your world? The sudden death of a loved one, marital infidelity, or a job loss are just a few examples of life-altering events. Addiction entered our lives unexpectedly. The news that our son was using drugs caught us completely off guard. In shock, we were unprepared to handle the situation. We needed help if we were going to survive this assault on our family. We need to learn how to pray when our family was under spiritual attack.
