The power of prayer and belief

Message: A girl went to a party
and she ended
up staying longer than planned,
and had to walk home alone.
She wasn't afraid because it was a
small town and she lived only a few
blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall
elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her
safe from harm and danger.

When she reached the alley, which was
a short cut to her house, she decided
to take it.

However, halfway down the alley she
noticed a man standing at the end as
though he were waiting for her.

She became uneasy and began to pray,
asking for God's protection.

I nstantly a comforting feeling of
quietness and security wrapped round
her, she felt as though someone was
walking with her.

When she reached the end of the
alley, she walked right past the man
and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the
newspaper that a young girl had been
raped in the same alley just twenty
minutes after she had been there.

Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy
and the fact that it could have been
her, she began to weep.

Thanking the Lord for her safety and
to help this young woman, she decided
to go to the police station.

She felt she could recognize the man,
so she told them her story.

The police asked her if she would be
willing to look at a lineup to see if
she could identify him.

She agreed and immediately pointed
out the man she had seen in the alley
the night before.

When the man was told he had been
identified, he immediately broke down
and confessed.

The officer thanked Diane for her
bravery and asked if there was
anything they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man
one question.

Diane was curious as to why he had
not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he
answered, "Because she wasn't alone.
She had two tall men walking on
either side of her."

Amazingly, whether you believe or not,
you're never alone. Did you know that
98% of teenagers will not stand up
for God?

Repost this as A GIRL RAPED IN (your
city) if you truly believe in God.


PS:
God is always there in your heart
and loves you no matter what

"If you deny me in front of your
friends, I shall deny you in front of
my Father"

STAND UP FOR HIM
