A Prayer Saved Kevin

lightning kept him awake.
Kevin was frightened. His whole body was shivering. He covered himself with a blanket and tried to
slumber but he could not sleep.
All a sudden, he heard a strange noise outside the window. When he looked out, he saw a burglar
trying to get into his room. He wanted to summon his mother but nothing came out of his mouth.

solemnly and begged God to protect and save him.
