Samira, a 39-year-old painter, felt like she was staring at a blank canvas she didn't know how to fill. After ending a long-term relationship, the silence in her life was deafening. She questioned everything — her past choices, her drifting dreams, and . future.
In that quiet desperation, she reached out on ba2am.com and Mehri responded.
Mehri simply listened as Samira poured out her feelings of emptiness. When the moment was right, Mehri asked a simple question: “Would you like me to pray for you?”
At first, Samira hesitated. She felt far away from God, like a distant stranger, but she agreed. She needed something, even if she wasn't sure what it was. Mehri began to weave Scripture and prayer into every message she sent.
A few days later, the atmosphere changed. Samira had a jarring experience. A woman on the street had approached her asking for help "for the sake of Jesus Christ." In Iran, where public declarations like that are rare and risky, Samira was shocked by the woman's boldness. She couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't a coincidence; it felt like a message specifically for her.
After several messages back and forth, Samira sent Mehri a plea that changed everything:
“God, I need You. I know You are alive and that You went on the cross for me. Please come and guide my life, and help me overcome my wrong thoughts and actions. Give me peace!”
Mehri read the message and paused. The words were so clear, so precise, that she asked Samira if she had copied them from a book or a website.
"No," Samira replied. "I didn't."
Mehri realized what had happened. Samira hadn't just written a message; she had written a prayer of salvation. That very night, Samira officially accepted Jesus into her heart!
The emptiness that followed her breakup was replaced by a new rhythm. Samira is now reading the Bible through a link Mehri sends her. A painter who once felt lost is now starting a new chapter, as God colours her world with everlasting hope and His grace.
