Seattle Woman Stops a Burglar through Prayer

According to a Seattle newspaper, a woman was kneeling on her kitchen floor, deep in prayer, when she felt a hand on her head. She told police officers that she thought it was her husband playing a joke on her, so she continued praying. But when she finally turned around she saw an unknown man standing in her kitchen. That's when she really prayed, crying out "Lord, help me!" The man fell back, hitting his head on the fridge. The man then stumbled out of the house and drove off, after taking only a $20 bill that had been sitting on the table. According to the newspaper report, the woman credits "divine intervention" for her miraculous rescue.
