"Tonight was a very frightening night," the 23-year-old actress and author shared in a recent Instagram post "I walked out into the parking garage and saw a white van parked beside my car with 3 men that had been previously been following me in the mall.

Robertson urged her 2.8 million followers to remember that even though we "serve a GOOD God, scary things can happen at any time because until the day Jesus comes back evil will still be in the world."

"I want to encourage you in saying that that's when the promises of the Lord are something we have to truly be so thankful for," she continued. "Today more than any I'm thankful to be able to have joy knowing I'm protected in the shadow of His wing."
