A girl went to a party and

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,she 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 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 her for her bravery

and asked if there was anything they could do

for her.. She asked if they would ask the man one question.

she 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

God is always with you and hears your prayers
