Girl Asleep on Train

He Was Guarding Me, Protecting Me, Covering Me

I’m a young adult, currently in my waiting season with the Lord. I’ve been through a rough phase in the last two years and coming out of a relationship that wasn’t serving God, I am in my season of heartbreak and healing. Even now, I continue to wait in faith, holding on to the promises God has whispered to my heart.

But today, I want to share a testimony from years ago, something I experienced as a child. I never realized the weight of what happened until recently, during one of the lowest valleys of my life. It was then that God reminded me of His mercy, and I finally saw His hand in a moment I had long forgotten.

I was around six years old on a family vacation to my native place. We were traveling on a three-tier train, and like any excited child, I insisted on sleeping on the top berth. What we didn’t consider was my little habit of rolling in my sleep. That night, I fell, straight from the top tier.

And apparently there was chaos. The family opposite us was screaming in fear. But somehow, by God’s grace, I was unharmed. The most miraculous part? I don’t even remember any of it ever happening! I went to sleep on the top berth and woke up safely in another spot. It felt like I woke up from a good sleep. If my family hadn’t told me, I would’ve never known I had fallen.

Years passed, and that memory faded into the background of my childhood. But just recently, as I was going through heartbreak and struggling to feel God’s presence, that incident came back to me, and with it, I heard God’s voice so clearly in my spirit, reminding me of Psalm 91:11-12.

“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”

And in that moment, I wept. I realized that even when I didn’t know Him, even when I wasn’t aware of His nearness, He was there. He was guarding me, protecting me, covering me with His mercy.

Now, as I walk through this waiting season, often feeling alone or unseen, I hold on to that truth: God has always seen me. He still does. I am never alone. I am divinely protected. And He will make a way for me. All glory to God. Amen.
