I\u2019m travelling with a big suitcase in Vienna. An escalator leads out of the subway station. \u201cCareful\u201d someone just told me due to the luggage. \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be a big deal\u201d, I thought but in that moment I lost balance. I struggled but can\u2019t avoid a fall. Backwards or to the side, I let go of the suitcase so I could support myself, but there was only one way – backwards. To support myself? Impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I fell backwards and suddenly realized: There are hands that hold me up. Beside and behind me, people spread out their hands and literally saved me from a fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An unforgettable experience: I am not alone. I am held up. There are people around me who catch me when I fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12\u00a0they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.<\/p>Psalms 91:11-12<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Deep inside I feel: Ultimately God is the strong, loving father who holds me up in life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
