God Watches Over Us
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
HAVING lived through two experiences that changed my life, I have learned that God’s concern for my life is real.
Several years ago, on two separate occasions, I was attacked by an armed assailant. I never thought I would experience such traumatic and frightening events. However, prior to each attack, I sensed God’s presence. Seconds before each attack, I heard the words of Psalm 34:7: “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.” Afterward, I understood why God had brought to my mind those words.
Today, after many years, I also know that a Christian is not guaranteed a life free from unpleasant or ugly situations. But God cares for us and never abandons us. We can be secure in this hope.

Dear Brenda,
It’s great to know that the anchor of our faith, almighty God, is also know as “the great physician.” Feel covered with our prayers and know that the eternal God is our refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Our love and support,
