Guided Faith: My Hostage Experience With Larry Davis

By Sophia Sewer

Faith is the test of the many uncertainties in life such as health, finances, marriage, just to name a few. The Bible states, "Without faith, it's impossible to please God." Faith provides a deeper relationship with God's hope, protection, and His provision, especially when you need it. We are responsible for believing in God, especially in those times of sudden distress and despair.

 

In Guided Faith, Sophia Sewer breaks her silence after 30+ years about the day she and her girls were held hostage by the infamous Larry Davis. However, there is a story leading up to that moment filled with testimony of how God prepares you for the ultimate tests in your life when you completely trust and stand assured that He will never leave you.

A Quick Word From The Author

No one can honestly say what one would do when faced with a life and death situation. What would you do if you or if your family’s life were threatened? Your first reaction might be to plead for mercy, fight, run, scream, or look for a way of escape, which are normal reactions. While in danger, you may decide to sacrifice yourself to save a loved one. That statement reminds me of a Bible verse that says, Will a friend lay down his life for a friend? You might! Not everyone is willing to die for someone else. Who knows what they would do?

As a child of God, I know one thing for sure, He is there in times of trouble. While going through situations, God will give you direction, and reassurance deep down in your soul that He is with you and you’re going to make it out.

"This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—be convinced that you have received it,
