Little Orphan Prays in Church for Mom to Come for Him, ‘I’ll Take You,’ He Hears One Day – Story of the Day
A six-year-old orphan named Alan, yearning for his mother, cried in church, begging God to send her to him. Amid his pleas, a woman’s voice from behind said, “I’ll take you.” Startled, Alan and his guardian, Nancy, turned to see Annette, who claimed to be Alan’s mother. She revealed she had left him at a shelter six years ago, at 16, after her boyfriend abandoned her and her parents forced her to choose between her baby and their support. Choosing the latter, she left Alan but later regretted it, visiting the church to watch him from afar.
Unable to ignore his cries, Annette decided to reclaim Alan. DNA tests confirmed their relationship, and she gained custody. However, her decision cost her dearly—her parents disowned her, and her husband, unwilling to raise another man’s child, divorced her. Despite losing her family’s wealth and marriage, Annette moved abroad with Alan and her daughter, Amy, finding joy in her reunited family and a new job.
Lessons: God answers prayers, as Alan’s pleas led to his mother’s return. Parents should not abandon their children for their own mistakes, as Annette’s choice caused Alan pain, though she later sought to make amends.
