As we prepared to leave the house I said my customary prayer asking God to put angels around us to protect us. (We have seen many near misses in traffic, plus going into the city tends to put us more at risk) One year when two of the kids were going through some things we all memorized Psalms 91:11 'And the Lord will command His angels to watch over you'. As a family, we have held on to this verse.
It was to be a 45 minute drive from the house to the restaurant we were going to eat at. When we were not even ten minutes away a car did a u-turn in front of us. We were doing the speed limit in an Expedition, they were in a Saturn. The only thing that can explain what happened is that angels protected us. The collision hit in the 'right' spot to prevent an explosion or instant death. Neither vehicle flipped. An eyewitness described the driver of the Expedition to have 'cat like reflexes' in regard to the accident. My opinion is that the angels watching over us moved the truck.
We still are praying for the girls in the Saturn. We don't know how they are, but we pray that they know Jesus.
The four of our children that were with us are doing well. G2 had seatbelt bruising and bruised her arm when the truck spun. The boys had seatbelt burn. We praise God for this, He protected all of us.
Hubs and myself are still dealing with our injuries, but the Lord is with us.
So, before you go anywhere or do anything... Are you prayed up?
