He protected us

This is a testimony of God's guidance and protection even in little things. So I was travelling to Scotland with two other friends to visit another friend who had relocated to Glasgow. To get to the airport, I purposed to get the train close to my house rather than driving to the airport, particularly because my wife needed the car for church and work. 

As I was getting ready in the morning of the trip, I felt really unsettled in my heart about something. I wasn't sure what it was but I carried on getting ready so that I didn't miss my train. I couldn't shake off feeling unsettled however so I paused, sat down and began to pray in the Spirit (speaking in tongues) because when we pray in tongues we are speaking mysteries according 1 Corinthians 14:2. While praying I was conscious also that I need to get the next train otherwise I could be late to catch my flight. 

After nearly 30 minutes of praying, the feeling or sense reduced dramatically but hadn't completely gone from my heart. I wanted to carry on praying until I was completely settled in my heart but I'd missed my intended train and I absolutely couldn't miss the next train otherwise I would no doubt miss my flight. At this point, my wife was still sleeping. So I said to the Lord "I really don't want to miss the next train Lord so anything which I haven't covered in prayer please reveal it to my wife". A few minutes later, my wife woke up from bed and suddenly decided to drive me to the station. I wasn't sure why she decided that but in my mind I thought she felt I was anxious and didn't want me to miss my train. 

Anyway, we got to the train station as quickly as possible and guess what? I missed the train again! My wife was standing by the ticket barriers waiting to see if I catch the train. Having missed the train, I walked back out of the barriers to my wife and suddenly my eyes went in the direction of our car and zoomed in further on the right-back tyre. To my surprise the tyre was completely flat and we didn't notice. I thought I was seeing things so we walked closer to the car which was about 20 metres from us to get a closer look. My wife and I both gasped and thanked God realising that this would have been really dangerous because she was due to drive for over an hour the next day on the motorway. I told my wife what to do to pump the tyres, resolved the issue and I got the next train. Thank God it was a faster train so I got to the airport on time. The story isn't over though! 

When I got back from Scotland, my wife shared with me what happened to her on the morning of my trip. She revealed that before she accompanied me to the train station, while she slept she had a dream. In the dream I appeared to her and told her something important about the car. This was the actual reason why she decided to give me a lift to the train station. She perceived that I was giving her a message in the dream. After she shared this with me, I told her my side of the story about feeling unsettled, praying and asking the Lord to reveal the rest to her as she slept. We were both in awe of the whole experience and began praising God. God truly guides and protects His children from danger if we perceive and follow His directions in our hearts. Glory to God!
