~ Corrie Ten Boom
Such a fantastic thought ! Merci beaucoup
Belle journée à tous
Bonjour Claudine! J’étais heureuse de voir ton nom dans cette section de commentaires du blog d’Evan! Oui, je suis d’accord! Je lis son blog tous les jours:) toujours inspirant!
J’ai hâte de te voir bientôt! xoxo
Love this
James Early, sent a podcast, The Bible Speaks to You, on praying effectively today and it is putting God at the steering wheel. Here’s the link: https://thebiblespeakstoyou.com/what-is-the-most-effective-prayer/
Thanks, Evan
thanks Barbara ❣️
Barbara thank you for sharing this link. It is the first time I have heard or read the inspiring content. Much appreciated!
That’s very good, Barbara, Thank you.
Lovely, Barbara, Evan and SpiritViewers. Through prayer,
God is speaking to us and guiding us along the way. How
beautiful to feel this ever presence of Love’s dear direction.
“It matters not what be thy lot, So Love doth guide …”
my husband’s comment: If prayer’s your steering wheel, you won’t need the spare tire!
Perfect, Sheilia’s husband and Sheila!
Thanks for link.
The simplicity of prayer because we are all children of God. 🙂

Ah, yes! Profoundly simple and profoundly true. Today I shall keep my hands on the steering wheel and my eyes on the road ahead.
Thank you very much for your today’s loving and very profound SpiritView!
Oh well, yes of course I and surely everyone else are longing to pray more like Christ Jesus did!
Thank you very much Barbara for James Early’s Podcast, “the Bible speaks to you”.
And I’m working to pray more often, that’s essential! And the Bible speaks of “praying without ceasing”.
Could perhaps one friend here lovingly translate us the two french comments from Claudine and Cyndy into english, please? would be so lovely! Thanks!!!❤️
Hi Uta, I believe Claudine said:
“Thank you very much, beautiful day to all!”
And Cyndy replied: “Hello Claudine, I was happy to see your name in this section of comments on Evan’s blog. Yes, I agree with you, I read his blog every day, always inspiring! I look forward to seeing you soon!”
Thank you Evan for today’s quote to let prayer/God take the wheel to direct our lives. I first heard of Corrie Ten Boom here on SV several years ago. Fascinating person. Here’s a summary about her that I found online:
Corrie ten Boom (1892–1983) was a Dutch Christian watchmaker who, motivated by her faith, helped hide over 800 Jews from the Nazis during WWII. Arrested in 1944, she survived the Ravensbrück concentration camp after her sister died there. Post-war, she became a globally renowned author and speaker, preaching forgiveness and reconciliation.
Key Details About Corrie ten Boom:
Birth: Born on April 15, 1892, in Amsterdam, and lived in Haarlem, Netherlands.
Death: Died on her 91st birthday, April 15, 1983, following several strokes.
Religious Background: A devout evangelical Christian whose family was deeply committed to faith and helping Jewish people.
Significance of the : Her family’s home in Haarlem, known as “The Hiding Place,” served as a safe haven. It is now a museum dedicated to her family’s bravery.
Holocaust Hero: She was arrested on February 28, 1944, and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where her sister Betsie died. She was recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations” by Yad Vashem in 1967.
Post-War Work: She wrote the famous autobiography, The Hiding Place, and traveled to over 60 countries to share messages of faith and forgiveness.
Corrie is best remembered for her profound conviction that “there is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still”.
Hi Rose, thank you very much for the translation of both frech comments. I think Cynty is the daughter of the wonderful lecturer and teacher. John Tyler, who lectured often in Hamburg in German.
And, dear Rose, thank you very much for the wonderful life story of Corrie ten Boom! ❤️
Boy, that caught me off guard – and in a good way, considering how this can be equated with the act of driving, and everything pertaining to driving. Consider and ask yourself: who’s behind the wheel? If God is behind the wheel, the car will drive safely and there will be zero likelihood of major accidents.
