In response to your question as to which part of the HEAR Principle was used in your story: There are two that stand out.

1. Act on your intuition
- You did that by filling up your car with gas, by praying, by touching your “faith stone” to reinforce your own faith.

2. Remember who helped you
- You did that by your reference to God and by posting your experience here on your blogger.

There is another “remember” here:
Remember the lessons learned

Here are a few that came to me as I read your story:
- “Prayer can solve more problems and bring about greater peace and contentment than can be obtained in any other way.” - Thomas S. Monson

- Mental HouseCleaning is good. Mentally forgiving everyone who had “wronged” you in the past and releasing all you resentments, anger and ego-related issues brought you peace. Chances are it will do the same the next time you do it.

- Gratitude expressed is better than gratitude unexpressed. My biggest concern that night was to get home alive. Never before had I done so much mental housecleaning in one night!

Great story, Stephen. Thanks for sharing.
