guns shots in the night
we gather the kids
turn off the lights
sit on the floor in the dark
no bigg-ee
not really routine... but not the first time
accepted as part of life here
watching your back
using your head
When I was a young girl, God was very real to me. Anytime I was {really} scared, especially at night, I would pray so earnestly for God's protection. I would sincerely ask Him to send angels to protect me. I prayed specifically. I asked for an angel to stand at all the corners of my house. If I was really, really scared I asked for my own angel in the room with me. I was young, and in my child-like faith I could feel the angels after my prayers. Don't think I'm all {who-ooo-oo.....raised eyebrows}. I'm talking about the peace that God gives that He's protecting you. I could feel the peace settle around me and feel God's protection.
I believe with the same faith I believe in salvation that angels are real.
"For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee." Luke 4:10
"For He shall give His angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways." Psalms 91:11
"The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them
that fear him, and delivereth them" Psalms 34:7
Now as I big girl, I believe in angels still the same. Many times when a noise wakes me in the night, I pray for God's protection before I fall back asleep. I ask Him for angels to protect our family.
He hears, I know.
Danger is all around us here. There are many stories that would "knock your socks off".
Many times, as we leave the yard of our house, I ask for God to send angels to protect our home while we are gone. The peace I had as a little girl is still real today. Thieves here are very prevalent and aren't picky, they'll break into your home whether you're there or not.

I wish it was not so worrysome for you and your family being there, but yes I used to and still do pray when I get scarried. You are doing a wonderful thing there and God is keeping you safe so that you can do his work B')
I believe in angels too protecting us too. I saw and felt too many things happen growing up to not believe in them. Praise the Lord for that promise in Psalms.
