It occurs to me, and so I have to wonder how many of the German soldiers were moved by God to not actually target this woman and or how many bullets fired by them, were deflected by Him to protect her.

I remain a person who is not convinced that God always intercedes in our daily lives. In this instance, I would have a hard time believing He didn’t.

What a heart warming telling of her actions, and her just recognition.

I have no idea what this woman led her life like outside of her war efforts, but it seems clear to me that she walked hand in hand with God and shared His heart for a period of time. No doubt about it...

Can a person aspire to more than this? I don’t think so.

Interesting statement. It made me reflect.

I guess it seems to me that being infinite, there's no way God can't be involved in every aspect of every life.

So as far as intercession goes, the hard part for me is that sometimes the answer is no.

Faith, therefore, means believing that whatever the answer is, it's for the best - and then acting on it by continuing to do what you can.

After all, isn't that what this nurse did? Immersed in the essence of the horror of war, where all around her, in answer to screams of prayers, God was saying "no" - she rolled up her sleeves and went to work, with faith that somehow all was well.
