Prayer after a car accident

I’d been sitting at a red light when a van undershot its turn into the lane next to me and hit my car head on, sending my car about ten feet backwards. 

“Don’t cry,” I told myself as I got out of the car to examine the damage. “Just remain calm.”

I wasn’t hurt, but I was angry at the driver and concerned about what bad shape my car was in.
