Driving along wee country roads
on my way to visit
a friend.

No other cars to be seen
and darkness all around.

White lines slip into view
one-by-one
as my car lights-up
the road before me.

A very real sense
that, as I drive in the darkness,
God is here in this car,
right beside me.

I am not alone
and I feel very safe.

Thank You, Lord,
for the grace of Your presence
on my journey tonight –
this has been, very much,
a real “I am with you always”-trip.

A tiny glimpse
into the way that You watch over me
every single day.

Thank You, Lord!!!
