Lorrie Anderson, missionary to the head-shrinking Candoshi Shapra Indians of Peru, was looking for a quiet place for her daily time of Bible reading and prayer, so she went down by the edge of the river. After reading the Bible, she took up her prayer list. Eyes closed, she did not see the deadly anaconda weaving through the water until it struck, burying its fangs into her flesh. It withdrew to strike, hitting her arm again and again as it held her screaming in its coils. It reared up for the death blows. Then suddenly, the giant snake, never known to release its prey, relaxed its grip and slithered off through the water. While Lorrie was being treated, a witch doctor from a nearby village burst into the hut and stared at her. She couldn’t believe Lorrie had survived. She said her son-in-law, also a witch doctor, had chanted to the spirit of the anaconda that morning and sent it to kill the young missionary. “I’m certain,” Lorrie said, “that except for the protection of God, it would have worked.”

We are so thankful for the protection that God gives each one of us everyday. We have been told, and we speak from experience, that: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. Isaiah 43:2 ESV
Throughout the Bible we are told many times that He protects His children. He has told us that we will be safe from weapons Isaiah 54:17, enemies Psalm 138:7, and even death Psalm 23. I have had many experiences with how much God protects us. Car, motorcycle, and snowmobile accidents I walked away from. Being shot at multiple times, He has protected me and there have been people that have tried to destroy me. Ultimately God has protected me from the plans of the the devil Ephesions 6:12.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for protecting me through all of the chaos, turmoil, sickness and everyday life. Thank you for protecting me from my own stupidity. Thank you for protecting me from people that have not had the best of intentions. Thank you Lord for being the teflon that keeps these things away. In Jesus Name Amen
