God Is My 24/7 Protection – A Living Testimony
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.”
— Isaiah 43:2
I do not believe in God’s protection as a theory. My life is a living, breathing testimony.
I believe because I have walked through my own floods, fires, and dangerous dens — and witnessed His unseen hand shelter me every time.
The Holy Scriptures paint His power clearly:
The Red Sea split open.
The River Jordan stood still.
Fire spared the three faithful Hebrew men.
Hungry lions bowed before Daniel.
A deadly snake could not kill Paul.
But what convinces me most is not only what God did then —
it is what He continues to do now, in our generation and in our troubled world.
In my debut book, FINDING YOUR SUNRISE, I recount many life stories. One such moment was the night the road tried to take my life.
The Night the Road Tried to Take My Life
One late night, driving home exhausted, my eyes grew heavy. Suddenly, I felt my car drift due to wet road conditions. Within seconds, it spun out of control and slid across to the opposite side of the road.
I cried out, closing my eyes, “O God, save me…”
Miraculously, my car came to a complete stop — perfectly aligned on the opposite side of the road. I stepped out trembling, stunned to discover I was unharmed and the car was undamaged.
That night I realised:
My God does not sleep, even when I do.
When Fear Knocked at My Door
Another day came when the medical report in my hand felt heavier than the world. The doctors spoke in careful tones, preparing me for the worst. Fear knocked loudly at the door of my heart.
Yet deep within, something stronger arose — a quiet, unshakable peace.
I prayed, “Lord, give me faith to believe in Your power to heal and save.”
I began to question the rigidity of traditional beliefs and surrendered my fears and worries to a God whose ways and Word I did not yet fully understand.
Yet a gentle calmness began to wash over me.
What was expected to worsen reversed itself. Healing came where logic said it shouldn’t. I knew then — this was no coincidence. This was the same God who walked with Daniel in the lions’ den, still guarding His children today.
Because I have walked through many dangers and witnessed God’s protection.
Because I have faced fear and found peace that surpasses all human understanding.
Because I have seen chaos and evil powers bow to His authority.
God’s protection is not limited to ancient stories.
It is a living promise for those who call on His name and walk in His Word.
I believe He is my shield in storms.
My refuge in uncertainty.
My guardian in the night.
My strength in every invisible battle.
The floods may rise.
The fires may roar.
The lions may growl.
But my God still declares:
“I will be with you.”
And that is why I believe —
not just with words,
but with my life —
that God is my 24/7 protection in every danger of life.
A Gentle Invitation
Are you walking through challenges in health, finance, or relationships? Your true help is found in humbling your heart and seeking God’s grace. His grace alone has the power to break every chain, silence every curse, and restore what seems lost.
I encourage you to meditate on God’s truth.
Let His love and light transform your world from chaos to peace.

It’s very hard to construct the profile of a donor to Life Global Australia. Occupation is highly variable: from businesswoman to yoga instructor, from copy writer to computer analyst, from psychologist to IT consultant, and from student to retiree. As a result, income is widely varied. Likewise, age is not a defining characteristic: some are over 70, some as young as 12. There are, however, some common factors: all are Australian, all are conscious of being in a position of privilege, and all see that privilege as an opportunity.
Several LifeGA donors are members of the ex-pat Indian community in Australia. In its nascent days, some learned of the charity directly through its founder, Dr Dipti McGowan.
Like her friend, Dr McGowan, Ms Jajee grew up in a family that believed in helping others.
Ms Gorasia was impressed by the extent of the programme, which reaches out to impoverished women, often in remote areas, and provides skill development and personal advancement. The women are educated and given the opportunity to start their own enterprises in various trades such as sewing, embroidery, catering, beauty and computer operations. Further than that, though, they are given training in self defence, gender equality, banking, budgeting and finance.
“Donating to LifeGA is an opportunity for us to help families become independent and for me to ¬¬¬¬-set an example for my daughters that, when we can, we should help other women. It is important to me that women can be self-reliant. I have had the privilege of being independent since finishing my studies and I know what living life with confidence feels like.”
