God's Protection

Before I go to bed at night, I always pray. Part of my prayer is for God to bestow my family back in the Philippines protection. When you are praying the same thing over and over again, sometimes the meaning becomes lesser. You pray for protection but do not realize how God is working in your life. He gave me a huge insight a few weeks ago.
I read a news article online that there was a fire near my house. I asked my mother about it and she said that the fire was quite far. She, however, narrated a fire that happened a few weeks ago on the house next to ours. Our neighbor caught fire when their gas tank exploded causing first and second degree burns on the face and whole body of our neighbor who is also a good friend of our family. My mother narrated that it was only my grandmother and second cousin left inside the house when that happened. There was an active fire and smoke was snaking its way inside our house. Minutes later, the other neighbors came to help put out the fire and it never reached our house.
If this is not God's protection, then I do not know what is. Their house is made of old wood that can easily catch fire, and so is our house. It was definitely God's awesome power to have stopped that fire from touching our house. He definitely heard my prayer from Saudi Arabia and showed His faithfulness through that awesome miracle. He showed that He is omnipresent and I can count on Him at all times. I really do not have a reason to worry. He loves me so much. I love You too, Father. Thank You for being awesome!
