Famous, Formerly Homeless Crack Addict, Ted Williams, Never Stopped Praying

Teresa Neumann : May 16, 2012  Today Show

"I never stopped praying. I would ask God, 'Please let my mother and myself stay alive one more year. Lord, please, let a life-changing turnaround happen in my life so that my mother would not close her eyes saying 'I did a bad job raising this child.'" -Ted Williams

Though Ted Williams—the homeless man with "the golden voice" who was a YouTube sensation—is still, by his own admission, a work in progress, he appears to be back on the right road, doing well and going strong.

After the video of Williams and his remarkable "golden" voice went viral nearly two years ago, he tried to come clean, but fell back into addiction. Not to crack cocaine, as before, but to alcohol. In so many words, Williams admitted that he wrongly assumed that alcohol wouldn't be seen as the same type of addiction as crack. He was wrong.

"I never stopped praying," said Williams, in the Today interview. "I never lost hope. I would ask God, 'Please let my mother and myself stay alive one more year. Lord, please, let a life-changing turnaround happen in my life so that my mother would not close her eyes saying 'I did a bad job raising this child.'"

When praying for the homeless, remember to pray for this man who has riveted the public eye. He still faces many challenges and decisions, not the least of which are spiritual. Pray that his "Golden Voice" will reflect his Creator's voice.
