Dr. Mark, a well-known cancer specialist, was once on his way to an
important conference in another city where he was going to be granted an award
in the field of medical research.
He was very excited to attend the conference and was desperate to reach
as soon as possible. He had worked long and hard on his research and felt his
efforts deserved the award he was about to obtain.
However, two hours after the plane took off, the plane made an emergency
landing at the nearest airport due to some technical snag. Afraid, that he
wouldn't make it in time for the conference, Dr. Mark immediately went to the
reception and found that the next flight to the destination was after ten
hours. The receptionist suggested him, to rent a car and drive himself down to
the conference city which was only four hours away.
Having no other choice, he agreed to the idea despite his hatred for
driving long distances.
Dr. Mark rented a car and started his journey. However, soon after he
left, the weather suddenly changed and a heavy storm began. The pouring rain
made it very difficult for him to see and he missed a turn he was supposed to
take.
After two hours of driving, he was convinced he was lost. Driving in the
heavy rain on a deserted road, feeling hungry and tired, he frantically began
to look for any sign of civilization. After some time, he finally came across a
small tattered house. Desperate, he got out of the car and knocked on the door.
A beautiful lady opened the door. He explained the matter and asked her if he
could use her telephone.
However, the lady told him that she doesn't have a phone or any
electronic gadget but told the doctor to come inside and wait till the weather
improved.
Hungry, wet and exhausted, the doctor accepted her kind offer and walked
in. The lady gave him hot tea and something to eat. The lady told him
that he can join her for prayer. But, Dr. Mark smiled and said that he believed
in hard work only and told her to continue with her prayers.
Sitting on the table and sipping the tea, the doctor watched the
woman in the dim light of candles as she prayed next to what appeared to be a
small baby crib.
Every time she finished a prayer, she would start another one. Feeling
that the woman might be in need of help, the doctor seized the opportunity to
speak as soon as she finished her prayers. The doctor asked her what exactly
she wanted from the God and enquired if she thought God will ever listen to her
prayers. He further asked about the small child in the crib for whom she was
apparently praying. The lady gave a sad smile and said that the child in the
crib is her son who is suffering from a rare type of cancer and there is only
one doctor Mark who can cure him but she doesn't have money to afford his fee
and moreover Dr Mark lives in another far off town. She said that God has not
answered her prayer so far but said that God will create some way out one day
and added that she will not allow her fears to overcome her faith.
Stunned and speechless Dr Mark was in tears which were rolling down his
cheeks. He whispered, God is great and recollected the sequence of events.
....there was malfunction in the plane, a thunderstorm hit, and he lost his
way; and all of this happened because God did not just answer her prayer but
also gave him a chance to come out of materialistic world and give some time to
the poor hapless people who have nothing but rich prayers.
It is a real Life incident..
always be prepared to do .......
What God has prepared you for
