God fearing people

When does this transition happen? And how? One day you are rebellious woman who has grand plans to change the world. Next day you are god fearing, church going (or temple or mosque going), highly religious  irrational mom. 

Of course, that transition hasn't happened to me because I have been irrational always.  

I understand being afraid. As a mother you are always afraid and worried constantly from day one of your motherhood. About your child's health, growth, future, friends, family everything. It's like you want to protect your child always from everything and which is certainly not possible. 

And that makes you feel helpless and you look towards heaven for help from there. You feel that, if you pray to God with true heart, with all devotion, with fasting and praying, he will protect your child. 

Aha, see, it is a simple solution. 

Or another reason for transition could be, as your child/children grow into adults and leave the nest, a large earth sized hole is created in your life, your heart and your routine. How do you fill it? With easily available, soothing feeling called bhakti - devotion. (It is soothing believe me I am almost an atheist)
