Prayer prevents injury following a fall

After I finished shopping in the market, I started toward my car in the parking lot. I didn't see the change of levels between the sidewalk and the parking lot, and as I stepped forward I lost my balance and fell facedown. It was as though I were falling in slow motion, and these words from a hymn came to me: "Everlasting arms of Love / Are beneath, around, above" (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 53). I felt as though I were being slowly eased to the ground, but I must have fallen quite hard, for a market employee came rushing up and asked if I was hurt. When I told him I was all right, he commented that I had hit very hard, and persisted in making sure that I was OK.

I got in and drove home, perfectly well.
