Thank you Lord

This is a testimony of how God protects us in response to prayer.

Yesterday, Wednesday our small church housegroup went along to vist the not so sunny Skegness in Lincolnshire.
We prayed for the Lords travelling mercies before we set off. We arrived safe and sound singing praise songs as we travelled.

The beach was a bit bleak to say the least, the tide was out and it was cold. But nevertheless the children took off socks and shoes and tried to build sand castles. They even ventured into the sea for a paddle. A great lunch of the traditional fish & chips was had. Most of the attractions were closed for the winter but we found a couple of rock shops open, so we purchased some to bring home with us.

We set off for home around 3.45pm.
We had travelled quite a way when we pulled on to a very busy dual carriageway. It was on here that the engine suddenly cut out. The diesel guage showed that we were not quite on the red. This is where we knew that God was truly with us as we managed to coast a few hundred yards to a lay by. as far as we knew the only one on that stretch of road. The engine wouldn't start again. Fortunately we could see a petrol station in the distance. In all of the miles we had travelled we could have been stranded miles from a layby or a petrol station.The Lord was watching over us. The men went off to try to get diesel and we the ladies prayed some more. We asked God to keep us in the minibus safe and for the men to return safe and sound. A busy dual carriageway in the dark is not a good place to be stranded or to have to walk down.
We kept in touch via mobile phone and they arrived safely back within the hour. A mechanic followed minutes later. He had a look at the engine and declared we werent out of diesel but a filter in the tank had come loose and had caused air to get into the engine causing it to stop. he tightened it up, bled the air out and we were on our way in no time.
All praise to God for his protection as it could have been much much worse.

So folks remember in whatever you do remember to pray, i believe that it saved our lives yesteday.

Thank you Jesus!!
