Safe

I pass this sign each time on my way to one of my work locations. I stopped today to snap a picture of it. Bonus that the sun was shining!!

Each time i make the hour drive each way, i pray for safety, protection from hitting dear, and other accidents and mishaps.

God hears my prayers. Praise his name.

Tonight was a long day, and i prayed for protection as i began my drive home in the pitch dark. Before i knew it, i realized i was going above the speed limit on these dark country, middle of nowhere roads between farm fields and Amish stores. I quickly slowed down and put my cruise control on.

Literally not more than ten seconds later, my brights shone on a large doe in the middle of the road. I swerved a touch to thank the Lord, miss it. She stood still, then walked out of the way. I was safe. My car was safe. The deer was safe.

This story may not seem like that big of a deal, but to me, my soul is stirred. The God of this world, who i have a personal relationship with as a Christian, hears me. How do i know? Besides the fact that he tells me in his Word- the Bible- that he hears, i see him and watch him answer specific prayers, all the time.

Am i special? Yes! Just as special as you and everybody else in this world. Will he answer your prayers too? Yes! If it is his will! Call on his name- “Jesus.” Confess your sin so your prayers are not hindered. God hears, and He cares.
