God’s protecting care

I would like to express my gratitude for an instance of divine protection that happened several decades ago. It was in the winter on a dark Wednesday night. I was working overtime. So I met my wife, June, for dinner and then we began driving to a testimony meeting at a local Church of Christ, Scientist, in separate cars. My wife was new to Christian Science at the time.

As I was getting into my car, I reached to turn on the radio, and an angel message from God came to me to pray instead. After a brief pause, I continued reaching for the radio—thinking that we were going to church anyway, so it wasn’t necessary to pray right then. Then a much stronger message came to me to pray. So I left the radio off and prayed with spiritual truths about God and man as I had been taught in Christian Science Primary class instruction.
