This is sick. Spreading fairy tales about how wonderfully things work out if women whose husbands beat them don't take the kids and leave, and just pray a lot instead, is very harmful. Plenty of women and their children have ended up dead due to believing garbage like this.

[Fiji Hill]

This story brings to mind a hymn that was once popular but is all but forgotten today:

Mother's Prayers Have Followed Me

I grieved my Lord from day to day,
I scorned His love so full and free,
And though I wandered far away,
My mother’s prayers have followed me.

Refrain:
I’m coming home, I’m coming home,
To live my wasted life anew,
For mother’s prayers have followed me,
Have followed me the whole world through.

O’er desert wild, o’er mountain high,
A wanderer I chose to be;
A wretched soul, condemned to die,
Still mother’s prayers have followed me.

Refrain

He turned my darkness into light,
This blessed Christ of Calvary!
I’ll praise His name both day and night,
That mother’s prayers have followed me.

Refrain

Lizzie DeArmond & Bentley Deforest Ackley, 1912
