"Angels in the Alley"

Diane, a young Christian university student, was home for the summer.  She
had gone to visit some friends one evening and the time passed quickly as
each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying
longer than she had planned and had to walk home alone. But 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 around 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 paper 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 of 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 their 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."

Moral of the story? Don't underestimate the power of prayer
