A policeman offered prayer rather than a ticket when he pulled over a speedster.

When those sirens flash in your rear view mirror, prayer is likely the first thing on your mind—but is it on the mind of the officer pulling you over? 

For an Idaho deputy, yes. Matthew Brakeman pulled over a speedster, but yielded to the Holy Spirit. Instead of giving her a ticket, he offered her something else.  

“I asked where they were headed. And she said to the oncologist. She then started to become a little bit emotional,” Brakeman recalled. He retreated to his vehicle first “and then walked back up to the passenger side and asked her mother if she would accept a prayer. And she said, ‘Absolutely.’ So then we prayed and told them to have a good day and went back to my car.”
