A girl named Diane went to a party and stayed longer than she planned, and had to walk home.
She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked under the tall elm tree, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.
When she reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house, she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing as though he was waiting for her.
Diane became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been killed and raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she'd been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, Diane began to weep.
Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.
She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.
The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.
She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she'd seen in the alley the night before.
When the man was told that he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.
The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.
She asked if they would ask the man one question.
Diane was curious as to why the man hadn't attacked her.
When the policeman asked him, he answered:
Because she wasn't alone.
She had two tall men walking on either side of her.
Amazingly, whether you believe it or not, you're never alone.
Did you know that 97 of teenagers won't stand up for God?
