Skid Row in LA
The sidewalks were full of people who are totally high, sleeping it off, walking around and talking to themselves. The days are hot, but the nights are surprisingly cool. The sidewalks are black and the neon street lights illuminate the grime, the garbage, and the people. Every Saturday, Teen Challenge members bring food, blankets, and prayer to downtown LA. This is skid row.
One woman was crumpled up, leaning on a street lamp with a trolley of dirty blankets next to her. A group of Teen Challenge people had gathered around her, and I joined them. “What’s your name, sweetheart?” one of the Teen Challenge girls tenderly asked as she knelt by her side. “Iris,” the woman whispered, her eyes blank and staring. “Can we pray for you, Iris?” she continued. Iris nodded, and this girl began to pray, and Iris began weeping, shaking. After she had finished, the Teen Challenge girl asked me if I would like to pray for her, and I began to plead the blood of Jesus over Iris’slife. For freedom from bondage, for Satan to have to leave her life that he has such a stronghold over. I crouched down and put my hand on her leg, and it began to shake violently. I was filled with what I guess would be righteous anger– anger about Iris’s life and all that had been taken from her because of her addiction. She was created to be a beautiful daughter of God. Jesus Christ died so she could be so alive. I wanted to stay all night, calling out to God for her freedom, but we eventually had to go. Iris continued to weep as I finished praying, and I crouch-walked up to her face and kissed her cheek. She looked up to me, a little surprised, and I smiled at her, so hopeful for something Real in her life, so aware of the power of Jesus and what He can do for her– it’s just His love, you know? As I stood I saw a used syringe next to her arm. It was empty. The Teen Challenge girl also hugged her as the group and I began to walk away, and when I turned around I saw her still holding Iris under the glow of the street light.
