James Fortune says he is sore but blessed to be alive after a four-car accident involving a drunk driver.

Just last week, a photo was posted to Fortune’s Instagram account along with an urgent request for prayer. According to the caption, he was en route to church when struck by the drunk driver. In the photo, Fortune appeared to be on a gurney but was responsive.

The next day, he took to Instagram from his home to thank his supporters for their prayers, adding, “If the enemy’s trying to kill me this early in the year, he gave me a notification that God’s getting ready to do something great in 2017!”

I’m home! ?? thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for your prayers. Praise God not just for what he provided but also what He prevented! ?? #jamesfortune #itcouldbeworse #butGod
