A Calming Presence in the Storm
A Traumatic Experience
I still remember the night I drove home from a birthday party, navigating through the rain-soaked streets in darkness. As I approached an intersection, the light suddenly turned yellow, and a car cut in front of me, leaving me no time to react. The impact was inevitable. My heart raced as I hit the other vehicle.
A Moment of Panic
In the aftermath of the accident, I sat stunned, unsure of what to do next. It was my first accident, and the thought of dealing with the consequences was daunting. But as I prayed for guidance, a sense of calm washed over me. A kind stranger appeared at my window, asking if I was okay. I was shaken but unharmed.
A Miraculous Response
As the stranger offered to call the police, I stepped out of the car to assess the damage. The front of my vehicle was badly damaged, and I knew it was likely a total loss. Yet, despite the chaos, I felt an inexplicable sense of peace. It was as if the Lord had enveloped me in a protective shield, shielding me from fear and anxiety.
Support in Times of Need
The police arrived, and soon my husband, daughter, and son-in-law were by my side. They were more shaken than I was, but I remained calm, thanks to the Lord’s presence. The next day, I was back at work, still marveling at the miracle of His peace.
Gratitude and Praise
In the face of trauma, I experienced God’s protection and peace in a profound way. I rejoiced, filled with overwhelming love for Him. My heart overflowed with gratitude for His presence, for sending help when I needed it most, and for never leaving or forsaking me.
A Prayer of Thanks
Dear God, thank you for surrounding us with Your peace, even in the darkest moments. Thank you for sending angels of mercy when we need them most. Thank you for Your unwavering presence. Amen.
