Jesus, I Need You Now.

A friend of mine was in a bad car crash.

While driving at a good 65mph he was struck by another driver. Dan (my friend) remembers seeing the airbag deploy- after that he was unconscious. When he came to he saw that he was pinned inside the car. The front of his vehicle was crushed in like an accordion, and Dan, who is a decent size guy, had himself completely crushed the steering wheel with his own body.

As he regained consciousness Dan said, "Jesus, I need you NOW!" At that moment he felt a hand on his shoulder. A stranger who had seen the accident had gotten in to the back seat of the car, placed his hand on Dan's shoulder, and asked him "Can I pray with you?"
Dan's response was "Get going man!" They prayed together in that demolished car until the paramedics arrived. It took the fire department fifteen minutes to get Dan out of the vehicle. After he was pulled out, the car burned.

It's no movie, it's life.
It's not a coincidence, it's Jesus.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you." Isaiah 43:2
"I will never leave you or forsake you." Hebrews 13:5
