GOD'S PROTECTION AND PROVISION
I first felt God's protection some years ago when I was involved in an accident that could have been fatal. My sister was a new student of Christian Science, and told me that she had suddenly been impelled to turn to Science and Health at that moment, and to hold fast to the fact that God protects all. She prayed with the truths she was reading until she felt at peace.
When I arrived home, shaken but completely safe and unharmed except for a few cuts and bruises, I told my sister that it was as though I'd been embraced in God's arms. She told me about her feeling gripped by an urgent need, and how the truths she had been studying calmed and uplifted her. There were no negative aftereffects for me, and I gave God's love and care full credit for that protection.
Another experience also affirmed for me the power of God to help us. I am a farmer who cultivates strawberries on four acres of land with about 80,000 plants. During harvest season in 2003, I sold the berries to a purchaser, who took them by a refrigerated truck to sell them in a distant city.
