I think probably any believer can point to innumerable small ways in which God has smoothed over some problem, or done something for us. (I can point to one from yesterday, in fact.....)

There are also bigger ones -- I've got several "touched by God" experiences, as have a number of people I know. My personal favorite is this one:

I was driving along a pretty full freeway one day. I was in the left lane. Traffic was going about 70, when some bozo pulling trailer-full of junk decides to pull onto the freeway at about 25 mph. He cut off a couple of lanes of traffic. The other cars began to skate around, and dodge to the left. It became obvious that I was about to be squashed onto the construction barrier just to my left. There was almost no shoulder, and certainly no room for a car. I was going to be in a nasty wreck, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Just before the wreck was going to happen, the construction barrier ended, revealing a "spare lane," into which I swerved, and avoided the accident. The "spare lane" ended within about 1000 feet, but it was enough: I was able to avoid the wreck.

Not too long after, I drove that way again. I was all set to show the "spare lane" to my family, but it wasn't there, and there was no indication that it had ever been there.

(As it happens, at the exact time this occurred, my wife and kids had decided to pray for me to have a safe trip....)

That is absolutely unbelievable!! Definitely a story for the PAX series - That's A Miracle. God AND your Guardian Angel were watching over you at that moment. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.
