The space between
Overcoming fear is huge for many of us, including myself. I could tell you of three times in particular where I was stalked and God’s protection rescued me. These three incidents happened many years ago from my teenage years to my early twenties. I had not experienced that fear in a very long time, until a few weeks ago. Within a 24-hour period, God protected me from disaster.
I was traveling home and heard a screeching sound behind me, I saw a car swerve sharply, directly behind mine. The car the flipped over, hit the guard rail and went flying off into the woods. i pulled over to the shoulder so I could back up and check on the person, but many other cars pulled over behind me to do the same. It seemed surreal because I saw it all happen in the rearview mirror. I couldn’t find documentation of the accident anywhere in the news or online. I wanted to see if the person was okay.
“Unless the Lord had helped me, I would have settled in the silence of the grave.” Psalm 94:17
My counselor asked me to envision being there again. She asked if I saw Jesus anywhere protecting me. I didn’t. I had seen Him before, in other prayer times over past trauma, but not this time. Then I got a sense of, “I am the space between.” I opened my eyes and told my counselor that God had showed me that He was the one occupying the space between myself and harm. He kept the car from hitting me.
I will never forget this. We prayed through Psalm 91 together to close. Here is some of what it says.
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God and I trust Him.”
God bless your day
