Proof of Faith

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 :) I will fix those mistakes... thanks for the review my friend I appreciate your comments and corrections :)

Definitely God is with you aaron, and it's all your faith, beliefs, and prayers which protected you and your lovely daughter from that accident.
Certainly God is always with us just need to feel his presence, devote ourselves to his morals and which will make us a good person in his eyes.
God gives us the strength to accomplish the right goals and protect from harms.

Thank you my friend! I am waiting for the news to see if anyone passed... it was pretty bad! We were very lucky and to be able to come to a complete stop without hydroplaning and no one slamming into me from behind... we all know who saved us :)
