God Answers Prayers

I was involved in a multi-vehicle pile-up yesterday. Well, actually, almost! I thank God for answering the prayer(s) of a friend that I would arrive safely.

I was returning to KL in my loaded Proton Iswara AeroBack 1.3S at 110kmph on the outer lane when I noticed the car in front started to slow down. As usual, I followed by slowing down. Before I knew it, I had instinctively applied emergency break because that car had just suddenly stopped.

As my car continued forward, and hearing screeches, I thought to myself, "I'm a goner. This time I've had it. I'm going to hit that car." I then felt the steering wheel jerked slightly and my car stopped without a crash nor being hit by another car. The car in front was only about 2-3 metres away. Talk about close shaves!

My car's engine had stalled. A whiff of black smoke came out from under my car which was then sucked in by my air-con blower. It smelt of burnt rubber. As the cars in front of me started to move again, I restarted my car and accelerated slowly.

Praise and thanksgiving to God flowed from my lips. I was truly amazed that there was no accident. Not one single car was dented nor knocked into. I called my friend to thank her for praying for me.

Moving on slowly together with the other vehicles, I realized that my car was rolling along with regular bumps eventhough the road was smooth. I believe it's because of the mark left road by my tyres during the emergency stop. Guess I may just have to replace them sooner than planned (mid-year).

I want to testify that, in God's Kingdom, He answers the prayers of His children.
