Theism and Trucks

Situation 1: I am parked on a red light in a left turning lane. There is one lane to my left where cars can go by facing me. Just then I see a big monster truck turning into this lane from the perpendicular road. The monster's head comes right in front of my face. I don't know what I can do to help the siutation. Should I move a little behind - what if it I hit the car behind me? I dare not move. I wonder how the hell this monster is going to make this turn and go past me into this side lane.

Situation 2: I am going 65 mph in 202. I suddenly see the shadow of this monter truck fall on my car. All I can do is keep going the way I am, following a perfect straight line. I try to fight all negative thoughts that come to my mind and focus straight. I pray for the monster's shadow to go past me - yes, the truck to overtake me.

It is in these situations that I trust completely in God. All debates about his existence are immaterial at this point. God, I know you are there and it is only you who can keep me safe from these monster trucks!
