I will use this tonight at Youth fellowship.
During the Korean War, American soldiers fighting the battle of Heartbreak Ridge
watched helplessly as one of their own was hit by sniper fire in an ambush.
Lying in a foxhole about fifty yards away from where the man was hit, the
soldiers discussed what to do. They agreed that in the midst of such intense
sniper fire, anyone who tried to crawl out and help the man would face almost
certain death.

For a while, no one moved. The men in the foxhole could hear their wounded
friend yelling for help, but they were powerless to do anything.

Then one of the soldiers began to stare intently at his watch. After a few
minutes, everyone else in the foxhole noticed his extreme concentration and
began to ask questions. But the soldier with the watch remained silent.

Without warning, he jumped out of the foxhole and crawled over to his wounded
buddy. He grabbed the injured man by the nape of his collar and very slowly
dragged him back to the foxhole, with sniper fire whizzing all around. Amazingly
both men made it to safety without being struck by another bullet.

After the sniper fire had died down, the other men in the foxhole asked the
heroic soldier why he had waited to crawl after his wounded friend. His reply
amazed them. "My mom told me she would be praying for me every day at the exact
same time," he explained. "According to my watch, I left the foxhole exactly
when she started praying."
