Power Of Prayer

[Carpe Diem]

Diane, a young university student, was home for the summer.

She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed

quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

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. Instantly a comforting

feeling of quietness and security wrapped around 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."

Moral of the story... Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!
