God’s Protection During Storm

About ten years ago, New Jersey was hit by a very severe storm. The forecast was for very heavy rain and very heavy winds. As soon as our teacher, Mrs. Evans, heard the forecast, she encouraged every member to pray for the safety of everyone; knowing that God does not send storms.

We prayed earnestly. The next day the storm came and went. There were several communities in New Jersey that lost trees and electric power for several hours, but the church and the communities that the members of the church lived in did not have any damage, nor did they suffer the loss of electricity.

I will never forget that experience; I was so grateful to God for His protection. It proved to me once again that when you are doing God’s work faithfully, He protects that work, and He protects those who are doing it.

I was so grateful to our teacher for the instruction to always turn to God for protection, to turn to God for anything and everything, and then expect it. I am grateful to Mary Baker Eddy for giving us the Science of Christianity, and for explaining that there are laws that govern our lives and the universe that we can count on when we are living in obedience to them.
