Dr. Mark was a famous oncologist. One day he flew to an important conference in another city where he was to be awarded a prize in medicine. However, an hour after taking off, an emergency landing took place at the nearest airport. The doctor rented a car and went to the conference.
Shortly after he left, the weather deteriorated and a strong storm began. Because of the heavy rain, the Internet disappeared in the navigator, it turned wrong and lost.
After two hours of driving, he realized he was missing. He felt hungry and terribly tired, so he decided to look for a place to stay. Finally, he stumbled upon a small house. Desperate, he got out of the car and knocked on the door.
The door was opened by a woman.
He explained and asked her to use the phone. The woman replied that she had no phone, but he could go in and wait until the weather improved.
The hungry, wet and tired doctor accepted her offer and entered. The woman gave him a hot tea and said he would go to pray. Dr. Mark smiled and said he believed only in hard work.
Sitting at the table and drinking tea, the doctor watched the woman in the dim light of candles as she prayed next to the baby bed. The doctor understood that the woman needed help, so when she finished praying, he asked her:
What exactly do you want from God? Do you think God will ever hear your prayers?
The woman smiled sadly and said:
“My son, who suffers from a rare type of cancer and there is only one doctor, his name is Mark, who can cure him, but I don’t have the money to afford it, besides, Dr. Mark lives in another city. God has not answered my prayer yet, but I know it will help... and nothing will break my faith.
Shaken and lost the gift of speech, Dr. Mark just cried. He whispered:
God is great...
He remembered everything that happened to him today: a failure in the plane, the heavy rain that caused him to go astray; and all this happened because God not only answered her prayer, but also gave him a chance to get out of the material world and gave him the opportunity to help the poor miserable people who have nothing but prayer.
