Protected From Car Crash

A few months ago, my family and I went on a short holiday. On our first night, we took a private hire vehicle back to our hotel. My husband sat in the front passenger seat while my mother-in- law and I sat in the back. Before the ride, the driver reminded my husband to wear his seatbelt.

Just before reaching our hotel, a speeding car crashed into us from behind. Our car hit the centre divider, overturned, and flipped three times before stopping upright. We managed to get out and I was surprised to find I had no open wounds.

My husband and mother-in-law suffered minor cuts, but we were all conscious and alert. The front windscreen was shattered, and the top of the car near my husband’s seat was dented. If he hadn’t worn his seatbelt, he could have been thrown out. We decided to return to Singapore for further medical checks.

Doctors were amazed we had escaped a severe accident with only minor injuries. They said such crashes usually result in serious injuries or fatalities. While they called it luck, we knew it was God who had cushioned us. Two days before the accident, my grandmother had a sudden burden to fervently pray for all her grandchildren and declare Psalm 91 over us. The night before, my mother also prayed in tongues for our protection. The Holy Spirit had moved people to intercede for us, and we truly felt our heavenly Father’s love.

My husband was discharged after outpatient treatment while I was admitted due to slight bleeding in my brain. My mother-in-law was also monitored due to her age. However, we were discharged after three days. Two days later, at a church meeting, Pastor Mathews prayed over me as I had a slight headache. He declared Christ’s finished work and prayed for my healing. That night, I went for a follow-up scan—the doctors found no more bleeding!

The Lord completely healed me within four days of the accident, and we were even able to serve at our Indian Life Group’s Thanksgiving service. Recently, I went for a follow-up check-up. My latest scan showed my brain was in perfect condition, and I was discharged from neurology follow-ups.

As Pastor Prince teaches, we should never take the Lord’s protection for granted. My husband and I continue to apply anointing oil and declare Psalm 91 daily. All glory, honour, and praise to Jesus for His protection!

In April, my husband and I were travelling around Negombo, Sri Lanka. As Pastor Prince has always shared—we should never take protection for granted. Hence, throughout our travels, we would partake of the Holy Communion in our room, and give thanks to Abba for keeping us safe.

On Good Friday, we dropped by one of the churches for a short visit before we flew home on a red eye flight. Thereafter, we rode in our hired car around Negombo, passing by many churches, including St Sebastian Church. Traffic was slower there as the roads were lined with vehicles, and many people were walking in the streets. The church compound was also overflowing with worshippers.

Days later, we found out from the news that a bomb was detonated at St Sebastian Church that Sunday. I thank our heavenly Father for His divine protection. The bomb blast could have happened anytime and anywhere, and we could have been hurt or even killed in the blast. We can never protect ourselves, only our heavenly Father can protect us and keep us safe as He promises in Psalm 91.

A few weeks ago, I was crossing the road near my office with a colleague. The traffic light had just turned red and the cars were moving to a stop. The middle lane was not clearly visible to us as there were vehicles in both the first and third lanes.

Suddenly, I felt an urge to pull my colleague back as we were approaching the middle of the crossing. That was when a speeding car zoomed past us at just inches away from us. We were in shock.

We heard loud honks as cars from two opposing traffic lanes tried to avoid the speeding car. Thankfully, no accidents happened that day.

The road which we were crossing was one that we use multiple times a day. We are always mindful of the traffic signals whenever we cross that road as the traffic is heavy around the area. Despite our safety awareness and mindfulness, an awful accident almost happened.

We thank the Lord for His protection. How wonderful it is to know that we are always loved and watched over by the Lord.
