My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me
I think God’s protection is one of the most common things that people forget to thank God for. Sure, we thank Him when we barely escape getting hit with a car or when we slip on ice and aren’t majorly hurt but I wonder how many thank God on a daily basis for the fact that He kept them another day, that He protected them from getting hurt. The fact is, each day we survive without a mishap, it is a gift from God. There are so many things which could harm us but it is God who sends His angels to cover us so that we are not hurt.
Whenever I pray for my family to arrive home safely, I’ve gotten into the habit of thanking Him when He answers. As much as we travel, I know it’s His covering that’s keeps us from being in accidents. I don’t take that for granted. Beyond that, though, I plan to start consciously thanking Him at the end of each day that He protected us from harm. I may not see the ways I could have been harmed but I know they’re there and I praise Him that nothing can touch me without His permission. He is such a faithful Father.
