When I tried to avoid a stone on the narrow alpine road, there was a huge bang. Our car shook violently.

Concerned, I looked underneath the car to see if a brake line had been torn off or if the oil pan was damaged.  Miraculously, only the floor panel was slightly damaged. This could have turned out very differently. Just think how many stones have taken precious lives? 

Were we luckier? 

Jesus said, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:20b

Every day in prayer I place our whole family in God’s hands and entrust them to His protection. Our Creator knows how much hair we have on our head. Therefore, I can confidently entrust every detail of my life to Him. Protection is a gift that no one can earn. God does not promise us a life without problems. Everyone who trusts him may however knows that he remains at my side; always and everywhere.

Isn’t that much more than just being lucky?
