Dexter heard what Xavier was speaking, but his long-held belief kicked in. Handing it over to God should be sufficient. However, moments later, his life occurrences flashed before him, along with the things Xavier said, forcing Pastor Lewis to realize God was with him through it all, answering his prayer and sending Xavier to the church door.
