How Powerful is Your Prayer?

Probably a month old gossip already, but this kind of news is always worth featuring. Last month I read a very unusual news that sounds too good to be true, but it indeed happened. A story about a bank robber with a loaded gun who ended up praying with his victim after she -the victim- beg him not to shoot her.

Astonishingly he comforted her, and she talked about God and her words bring him to his knees. The robber, Gregory Smith, begins to pray. He's also crying saying he's unemployed, desperate and trying to support his family. She then comforted him. He then removed the bullets from his gun and handed them to her.

He did steal her mobile phone and a twenty dollar bill, but he turned himself in after her Mother saw his image on the television. How wonderful, I hope he's really changed into a good person for good.
Bizarre and touching, but how powerful is your prayer?
