In December 2017, my mom’s home was under serious threat by the Lilac Fire that consumed over 4,000 acres of land in a matter of hours. There were many tall trees and foliage all over her 2-acre property, and her home was directly in the center of the flames that were closing in.

When we received news that her neighbor’s house was on fire and that the flames had also reached her property, it all looked hopeless. The barn above my mom’s property also caught fire. I fought to stay in faith as my husband and I prayed for protection over her home.

I prayed that God would cover her house with a supernatural blanket of water so that nothing would burn. We also read and prayed the powerful words of Psalm 91:10—“No harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.”

When we awoke the next morning, we weren’t sure what news we would receive. Let me tell you: God does answer prayers. Even though my mom’s 2-acre property had been burned, the fire did not touch her house! I cried tears of relief and joy. It’s truly a miracle from heaven.
