Proof of Faith

Proof of Faith

A Poem by AaronFreitas
"

Today me and my daughters narrowly avoided a 6 car pileup in the rain... it was as if time stopped so we could be spared.

"

When I prayed last night, I asked you to keep us safe;
Protect my family, especially, my beautiful daughters.
Today, you reached down and kept us out of harm's way;
Kept us alive by missing that accident-- proof of Faith.

I thank you, and my daughters thank you.
I made sure they understood exactly who protected us.
I asked them each to pray and thank you personally
As we drove away from the pileup, shaken emotionally.

Faith is confidence in what we hope for;
Faith is belief in what we do not see.
You proved that today, Lord, by saving my family, so
I'll take this opportunity to share my faith through poetry.

I take it this is autobiographical too. Thank God you all got away untouched. I guess prayers are never prayed in vain. Br safe all of you. This is really an emotional piece. An eye-opener too, that God really exists.


Small correction- Second stanza, is there an apostrophe required,shouldn't it be "Daughters"? And in the second last line of the last stanza, a comma after "Lord" would make it more effective.

Yeah I didn't think there should be an apostrophe but Word insisted on changing it so I left it :) .. read more

As a Christian, this is touching to me. The times the Lord reveals His presence in big ways or small are encouraging to hear about! I've had many moments like this in the past. I am so thankful for our protector and for the faith that he grants us! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much Nadia... appreciate your review very much :)
Great work Aaron, faith does have the power to move mountains. I glad you and your daughters are safe.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

This was very touching. I am glad you & your family are all okay. G-d works miracles every day if we just open our eyes to see the simplest things as such! Well done.
