The spiritual power of the Lord's Prayer was proved in my experience during World War II, when I was living in a resort area in northern Florida.

I had been strolling along the water's edge in my bathing suit all afternoon and suddenly realized the sun was setting. Since there is no twilight in the tropics, in few minutes it was completely dark except for the reflection of a few stars on the waves. At that time there was a complete blackout of lights along the entire East Coast. It was also against the law for anyone to be on the beaches after sundown. Being low tide the beach was over three hundred feet wide, and I could not see through the inky darkness to locate any houses on the dunes.

When I was about two miles from home I heard the barking of dogs in the distance. As the sound became louder, I suddenly realized the dogs were running toward me, and I recalled that mastiffs had been trained to guard the beaches against invaders who might come ashore from submarines. Realizing I should not have been on the beach then, and also that animals could readily sense when their victims were afraid, I was filled with overwhelming fear of the dogs.
