A Colorado Pastor’s Prayer for a Pizza Driver Just Restored America’s Faith in Human Kindness
America desperately needed some good news.
After months of political chaos and cultural warfare, people were starting to wonder if basic human decency still existed in this country.
And a Colorado pastor just proved that it does – in the most beautiful way possible.
When a Simple Mistake Became a Miracle
Pastor Neal Seiwert of Castle Rock, Colorado, was having a quiet weekend with his family when they decided to order some Papa John’s pizza.
The delivery driver, Suzanna, showed up at their door with what she thought was their order.
But when she checked the receipt, her heart sank.
She had delivered order number 57 to the Seiwerts, who were actually order number 67.
"I’m sorry, I’m getting old," Suzanna told the family, clearly embarrassed by her mistake. "I screwed up. I’m sorry."
Here’s what happened next – and it’s going to restore your faith in America.
Instead of getting angry or demanding a discount, Pastor Seiwert looked this hardworking woman in the eyes and said something that would change both their lives forever.
"Don’t you, for one second, feel bad," the pastor told her. "We love you and Jesus loves you. And we hope you have a great night."
But Pastor Seiwert didn’t stop there.
The Moment That Changed Everything
What the pastor did next left viewers around the world in tears.
He called his wife and three young daughters out to the front porch, and together they placed their hands on Suzanna’s shoulders.
Then they prayed for her.
Right there on the front porch, this family surrounded a complete stranger with love and asked God to bless her life.
"Jesus, we thank you for Suzanna, and Lord, I thank you that we crossed paths tonight," Pastor Seiwert prayed as their Ring camera captured every word. "In fact, Lord, she’s more important than any of these orders tonight because you matter to her. She matters to us."
"Lord, I just pray you would bless her. I pray that you would open the windows of heaven over her and bring any healing she needs to her body in the name of Jesus, any financial need to her, Lord – and God, that she would encounter you and live for you and follow you [with] everything she has, in Jesus’ name. Amen."
The prayer lasted less than two minutes, but it’s already touched millions of lives.
America Falls in Love with This Family’s Heart
The Ring camera footage made its way to social media, and the response has been absolutely overwhelming.
The video has racked up over 5 million views and more than half a million likes on Instagram alone.
But here’s the part that really shows you what America is hungry for right now.
People aren’t just watching this video – they’re weeping over it.
"This brought tears to my eyes. God bless that family," wrote one viewer, speaking for millions of others who found themselves genuinely moved by what they witnessed.
Pastor Seiwert told Fox News Digital that he "really felt the love of God" for Suzanna and "wanted to do anything I could to relieve any pressure and anxiety she was feeling."
"I didn’t want her to experience just our family’s love, I wanted her to experience God’s love too," he explained.
Look, in a world where people film themselves screaming at service workers for TikTok clout, this family chose to film themselves showing love to a stranger.
That difference tells you everything you need to know about what’s wrong with our culture – and what’s still right with it.
The GoFundMe That Proves America’s Heart Still Beats
The Seiwerts didn’t just stop at prayer.
They tracked down Suzanna, got her permission, and set up a GoFundMe to help meet her financial needs.
Their original goal was $25,000.
They hit that target in less than two days.
"So many people are commenting on how it brought them to tears," Pastor Seiwert said. "There are many people who simply just need love."
Here’s what’s really happening with this viral moment.
Americans are starving for genuine kindness in a culture that rewards cruelty and celebrates division.
This pastor and his family just reminded millions of people what Christianity actually looks like when it’s practiced instead of just preached.
"We love. We point to Jesus," Pastor Seiwert explained. "It’s often the small moments that we have huge opportunities to reach a broken and hurting world."
The America We Still Believe In
You know what makes this story so powerful?
It’s not complicated.
There’s no political agenda, no social media strategy, no attempt to go viral.
Just a family that saw someone hurting and chose to love her instead of lecture her.
In a country where politicians spend millions trying to convince us we’re irreparably divided, a Colorado pastor just proved that American hearts still beat with the same rhythm.
The Seiwerts are preparing to move to Wichita, Kansas, at the end of this year to start a new church called Harvest House.
Something tells me that church is going to be packed from day one.
Because people are desperate for the kind of Christianity that actually looks like Jesus – the kind that sees a tired pizza driver having a bad day and responds with prayer instead of complaints.
Pastor Seiwert learned to "trust his feelings of compassion for a stranger," recognizing each encounter as "an opportunity to shine our light and help someone experience love."
That’s not just good theology.
That’s the America millions of us still believe in – the one where neighbors take care of each other and mistakes become opportunities for grace.
Thank God some families are still living it out, one pizza delivery at a time.
