Ron Dailey, 65, wandered for 20 days and was found alive Saturday after initially planning just a one-day hunting expedition in the Sierra National Forest, ABC7 reported.

When Dailey didn't return home, his family contacted authorities, and a search commenced. He found himself with a destroyed vehicle and no way to navigate out of the situation.

Fortunately, Dailey had enough food for around two weeks and used his car as shelter.

At first, he waited for help, but he told ABC7 he came to a realization: "You either try to walk out or you're going to sit here and die."

Over his weeks in the woods, he lost his phone, trekked miles, and relied heavily on prayer. And it was that invoking of God that helped him get through—even when the situation seemed impossible.

Dailey started praying for a miracle as soon as his legs began to give out, according to The New York Post.

"I can't hardly walk anymore, Lord, You gotta help me Father God," Dailey told God, noting what happened next. "I raised my head up, there was a car with headlights on and I go, 'Oh God, thank You, Lord.'"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
