Imagine being headed down the highway when out of no where, a tree falls and crushes your car.

This was the reality for Denise Wilburn on a normal Tuesday evening in Texas. While driving along a busy road, all of a sudden she noticed branches coming through her windshield. A massive oak tree had split in half and fallen directly on her car.

The car was a complete and total mangled mess. Two Good Samaritans stopped to help. When they saw the wreckage and did not expect to see anyone alive, but there she was, alive and well.

Wilburn was driving what she calls her “prayer wagon”, because she spends her time driving in prayer. She thinks the prayer wagon protected her.

“I pretty much just pray for people when they pop into my head,” she said. “My prayer wagon made a bubble. I was literally in a little tiny spot that had not been touched.”

“I believe miracles happen every day and I truly believe I am one of them,” said Wilburn.

Denise may have lost her “prayer wagon” but she believes her mission is not complete.

“I’m a prayer warrior, I pray for people,” she said. “I’m gonna continue that and maybe that’s why God saved my life.”
