This girl named Diane went to a party

she ended up staying longer than

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

though

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 raped 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 98% of

people

will not stand up for God?
