Excerpt from George Müller and Andrew Reed
When George was about fourteen years of age, he lost his mother by sudden illness. It does not appear that she exercised any very powerful influence on his life; but, undoubtedly, the boy was worse Off, as far as regarded loving guidance, by her removal. For a little time he mourned her loss Sincerely, but her death made no lasting impression on him, and, although so young, he sometimes went to taverns, where his health and time were wasted in drinking and card-playing.
The time of George's confirmation now drew on, as he was nearly fifteen, and quite Old enough to appreciate serious instruction. Sometimes the solemn nature of this new engagement caused him to be very sad and thoughtful for a few days; but he would be led away by bad companions, and spend his time in such a manner as to lay up very bitter memories. Yet the lad's conscience pricked him, and he looked around for some way of deliverance; believing that, with a new mode of life and new companions, he should be able to reform.
He was confirmed, and partook Of the Lord's Supper at Easter, 1820. After this he spent some time in private meditation, and formed many good resolutions. But, he says, as I had no regard to God, and attempted the thing in my own strength, all soon came to nothing, and I grew worse.

Excerpt from George Müller and Andrew Reed
On Ashley Down, near Bristol, may be seen a cluster of noble buildings, celebrated as the homes of friendless orphans. Five immense Orphan Houses, containing over 2,000 inmates, are standing witnesses to the piety, philanthropy, and faith of their founder, George Müller.
And yet his youth was not remarkable for either sober or serious conduct. In his own account of his early days, he tells us of frequent offences against the strict law of rectitude and uprightness of life; and narrates, with penitence, many faults which he then committed.
A German - or rather a Prussian - by birth, he first saw the light on September 27th, 1805. It seems that there was an elder son, but the father unwisely preferred George to his brother, "which was very injurious to both boys, and caused the latter to entertain a feeling of dislike both to him and his father."
