Praise God for His protection

[BOFF]

I wrote for almost an hour earlier, and lost my post. I've been home from the hospital for about 5 hours.

In the nutshell: Collision with a driver who lost control of his truck, and swerved into my lane yesterday evening. Taken to hospital in neck brace, and strapped to a board. Been in hospital to check on abdominal pain and bloating.

God was definitely with me, as he showed his presence throughout the whole ordeal. He provide me comfort, peace, and assurance that everything would be ok.  He had friends call friends who had seen the accident and been in the right location while driving to do so. He had people by the phone to hear my needs and answer my calls. He had my wallet appear from know where, in the seat of my truck, after a friend had already been through the truck completely, removing and drying stuff. He had my phone call my wife on her cell phone, though I remember dialing my wife at home, as I knew she was at home cooking supper- the house phones were out due to bad weather. There is more, but I am tired and exhausted.


Thank you Lord for your protection, hands of healing, smooth transitions in the hospital, friends who left work to pick up tools and supplies scattered on the road, minimal pain and soreness today. Thank you for hearing my plea of "Protect me Lord" "Protect me Lord" after the truck hit me, and I started spinning around and around. Thank you Lord for your eternal Salvation through your son Jesus. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Picture links of truck. I didn't know how bad it was until this afternoon.

Thank you Lord for hearing David's call for your hand of protection and for sparing him!

David, he knows your heart and your plan and obviously, it is not complete.  I pray that you heal quickly and completely.  Keep us updated.

How is the other driver (occupants)?

Ray, the other driver was going to a small church, close to our farm/shop (where I work) and was recently saved this Monday. The church had a revival from Monday through Wednesday. The driver's son also accepted Christ as well!

The driver in the past had broken his neck. The accident didn't stop him from getting back to church, but he did say he was feelings poorly in the shoulders, and neck area the next day.

Please keep him in your prayers as well. He called and talked to me in the hospital. I told him God works in mysterious ways, and had he not hit me, he may have gone off the embankment, where he was headed, and might not be here today. We just never know how or why God uses us, but always know it is for the good, and to his Glory.    

Praise God I am feeling the same minimal soreness and pain.

God Bless, David B.

Amen, prayers for his healing.

Dude...and just moments ago you wrote about jumpin up and down with joy for me...don't do that!  

glad it worked out. God is something huh? If we but get outa the way, he always seems to handle things... and you know what I'm talking about.

Prayers for complete healing for you and the oncoming driver... peace, power and patience. Your ride is toast... but it's only material goods...

Keep the Son in your eyes! Thank You, Lord, for protecting our brother!

David, I have been offline working out my orders and trying to recover alot of issues, I am so sorry to hear of this just now but so thankful you are ok as well as the others involved.
Driving a truck up here professionally for most of my adult life, I know all too well and count my blessings daily. Never had an accident but came close at times avoiding crazy drivers and wondered how God worked them all out. Also seen alot of bad ones and from your pics, it could have been worse and amazing how God protects.

Please keep us posted on your recovery and will be praying for all of you and thankful you are all ok.
