Mia's Pov Later that day, I was in my bedroom sitting on my study table, Preparing to study for the usual five hours. As I say I couldn't help but remember what my best friend, clover said earlier, my mind keeps drifting back to the question she asked me earlier. " What if we get Kidnapped, Mia? " " What are we going to do then? " I started to ask myself this question Again and Again. Day after day, week after day News of Students being Kidnapped from their school fills the Newspapers and Internet. ' We won't get Kidnapped, We can't get Kidnapped. ' I said trying to convince myself. Then Clover's next statement came to my mind. " How sure are you that we are Safe, Mia? " This statement Repeated in my head again and again. When I realized that these thoughts are beginning to overwhelm me, I immediately went towards my Walk-in- Wardrobe and brought out my orange-colored scarf which I tied to my hair, I then came back to my study table and brought out my Bible from the drawer. I opened my Bible to Psalm 27, which happened to be my favorite Psalm. Verse 1 says The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? , The Lord is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? ' of whom shall I be afraid? ' I asked myself. ' When the Lord himself is my light and salvation? ' I Continued. ' No one! ' the answer came to me almost immediately. I Proceeded to Verse 3 It says ' Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear! Though war may rise against me, in this will I be confident! ' I continued meditating on those words. I went ahead and opened to Psalm 121, my next favorite Psalm. Verse 1 says. ' I will lift my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help. ' Verse 2 says. ' Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. ' This particular Verse caught my attention. I suddenly realized that I had nothing to worry about, I had nothing to fear because the one who keeps me shall neither slumber nor sleep. I went on my knees and closed my eyes as I prayed. ' Daddy Lord in heaven, I know that I am safe and secure in you, I am sorry for ever doubting that, grant me unwavering faith in you, enable me to trust unconditionally in you, Protect and guide me, my family and people around me from evil, let your will and not my will be done in my life, thanks to Daddy for answering my prayers. ' Amen. Immediately I Whispered the Amen. A popular and Emotional and Spirit-filled Christian song, Oceans by Hillsong United, started playing in my room. You called me out upon the waters. The great unknown, Where feet may fail. And there I found you in the mystery. And ocean still, my faith will stand. And I'll call upon your name. And keep my eyes above the rails. When Oceans rise, my soul will rest in your embrace. For I am yours and you are mine. As the song Continued playing, I started to get a little emotional as tears streamed down my eyes. I began to recollect all those passages in the Bible where great faith resulted in dumbfounding miracles. " Thank you for your love and Care, Daddy Lord in heaven. " I Whispered as I stood up from my kneeling position, walked to my bathroom, and opened the Tap in the Wash Hand basin, which was next to the door. I rinsed off my tears with the warm, flowing water, I repeated this process three times in a row before I wiped my face and hands with a Yellow hand towel nearby. I looked into the mirror and saw my reflection, I didn't know why but I got the feeling that something in my had changed, it felt like a light in me had been ignited, I feel like a new Creature. With determination and Fearlessness in my Voice, I spoke out the following words. " I Goodness Mia, from the day onwards I become a new Creature, from now on, I become as unstoppable as the Wind, An undimmable light like the sun, I become a battle-ax of the Almighty, I become untouchable by evil forces. " " I shall not fear, I become a light to the world and a salt to the earth, I shall continue to succeed in all ramifications, I shall not Quit! , I am a winner, I am an overcomer, I become undefeatable, I am born to win, I am born to reign! , I am outstanding! " " The Lord God who made heaven and earth are with me! , I shall not cower in fear when oppressors come my way, I shall battle and Win, I am not a loser, I am a winner. " " Thanks, Lord, for Everything you've done " I Whispered as I Smiled brightly. I could feel my joy overflowing, my once numb heart came alive again, I felt Strength and happiness Surge through me. I saw myself being prepared for the battle ahead, I saw myself Winning, I could even Smell Victory. " The Wicked shall always Perish, Truth shall always Win and so I stand for truth! " I declared. I went back to my room and was surprised to find my Mom there, she was dressed in a blue nightgown, she was sitting cross-legged on my bed. " Good Evening Mom. " I greeted. " How come you are here? , Aren't you feeling sleepy yet? " I questioned Suprised as it was already Ten Minutes to Twelve, it was almost midnight, I always study from 12 am - 5 am. " Good Evening Mia, How are you doing dear? " She asked, Smiling faintly. " Am fine Mom, it's so late why aren't you sleepy yet? " I asked. " Well, I am but I decided to come and have a word or two with you before I retire to bed. " She replied. " Oh! , So what's the discussion going to be about? " I asked as I moved closer to the bed and sat beside her at the edge of the bed Crossing my legs too. " Did you hear about what happened Mia? " She asked, now facing me. " Yes I did, Clover informed me when I got to school this morning, she seemed Worried and Scared when she told me informed me this morning. " " Oh! I understand her? It isn't easy to take in, Who wouldn't be afraid and Worried when news of Students like yourself are being Kidnapped weekly by the Bandits. " " You are right, Mom " I replied nodding. " How did you console her? " " Well, I told her that she shouldn't worry too much about it as we are Safe here " I replied. " Oh! Did you remind her about the fact that The one Who keeps Israel Shall neither Slumber nor sleep? " " No, I didn't " I replied, bowing my head in shame. " It's alright darling, I understand that you must have thought about that then, no? " " Yes, Mom " I replied. " Thought as much, Don't worry Mia, all you need to do is to cast your cares upon the Lord for he shall sustain you, whatever it is that is troubling you all you need to do is to pour it out to the Lord and he will take care of it " My Mom advised as we both embraced. " I love you, Mia, She said. " I love you too Mom " I replied as we both giggled.
