A Prayer to See God's Goodness by Chelsea Dimitias, read by Liam Arton.

Come I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people the children of Israel out

of Egypt.

Slow down, pull over, transmission over heating.

This message flashed across the screen of our cars we were 435 miles from home, 15 miles

from our exit, and on a very busy highway.

My husband quickly pulled over to the side of the road as I nervously watched cars, trucks

and semis fly by our SUV causing the car to shake.

Lord, are you kidding me? I said from the back seat with our son.

My husband shut off the car, prayed and grabbed the owner's manual.

He then did what the instruction said, and we waited.

I'm happy to say our vehicle did start, and about 10 minutes later we were back on the

road, obviously with a trip to an auto shop in the very near future.

A few hours later, while unpacking and getting settled at our family lake house, I felt

led to prayerfully thank the Lord for protecting us and getting us to our destination safely.

I also realized while praying that in God's goodness he could have been using that

message of inconvenience in the car to save us from a horrible accident or reroute us,

so we picked a closer exit where we wouldn't hit a traffic jam.

I often find myself looking all around for God's goodness when all I really must do is look

right in front of me. His goodness is packaged in all things, and as cliche as that sounds,

his goodness is just as much the little things as the big things.

It's the breath in my lungs, as my feet hit the floor in the morning.
