Sandra's Story

"Recently, I got into a car accident and I broke my leg. After I broke my leg I rested for about three to four months and then God brought me to study in a bible school. During this time when I went to church, I got a scripture card and in the scripture God says he will use his righteous hand to support me and help me so I don’t need to be afraid. At first I didn’t really think anything of it. I thought it was just a scripture. 

But then later, the other person who got into the car accident with me wanted to settle with me. When I talked with my family they thought that I was too hasty if we settled right away and that we should wait a bit longer. But when I prayed, God showed me that this was the purpose for why He gave me this scripture in the beginning. So, He will use His righteous hand to help me, even though my family thinks it is too hasty or too rushed if we decided to settle now. 

So, I told the plaintiff that we don’t want to settle this soon and we wanted to wait for a while longer. Then a while later they sued me and brought me to court on account of ‘accidental injury.’ So I had to appear in court to take care of this case. 

I see that since the beginning God has told me that He will protect me through this time, so it is okay to settle. But I didn’t have the courage to tell my family that God says it’s okay to settle. Even though we are now at the point of trial, I know God will still help me, even when I didn’t listen to Him initially.

This case is still going on, but God is using His righteous hand to help me, even though during this time I feel hurt, anxious, and hopeless because this process may take a while.

But in psalm 91:15 it says, 'He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

So I think God will rescue me and He is with me, so I don’t need to be afraid.'"
