A girl went to a party and she ended up staying
longer than she planned, and had to walk home alone. She
wasn't afraid because it was a small town, and she lived only
a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees,
Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she
reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she
decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a
man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She
became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped
round her, she felt as hough someone was walking with her. when
she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man
and arrived home safely. The following day, she read in the
newspaper that a young girl had been killed in the same alley
just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed
by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she
began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this
young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt
she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The
police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to
see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed
out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the
man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down
and confessed The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked
if there was anything they could do for her She asked if they
would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he
had not attacked her When the policeman asked him, he answered,
Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on
either side of her. Amazingly, whether you believe or not,
you're never alone. Did you know that 97% of teenagers will
not stand up for God?
