One day I went to the hospital, and I had to wait for an hour for the appointment. I was thinking, What will I do in this one hour of free time? Then I decided to watch some educational videos on YouTube.
After watching some educational videos (that I really enjoyed), I looked at the time; I saw that it was 10:50 a.m., which meant only 10 minutes left for my appointment. I felt like the time passed so fast. I didn’t realize how an hour passed.
I turned off my phone and kept it in my bag. I stood up and started walking around. As I was walking, I was looking at all the people around; they were patients, and some were relatives of the patients. I observed some patients waiting in the waiting room and others engaged in their treatment procedures.
I didn’t know where I got the idea. I observed all those people and began to pray for them. I started praying like…..God, please bless them; please bless all of them!
God, please help all of them to feel comfortable with their bodies; I want all of them to feel happy. Thank you, God! I love you.
For 10 minutes, I was walking and praying for all of them.
When I was doing the prayer, I felt so great that I can’t explain it in words. I felt like I was the happiest person in this hospital.
Two learning parts:
1. You can use your most boring free time in wonderful ways that make you feel like enjoying it.
2. Pray for others. Praying for others makes you feel more fulfilled than praying for yourself. Because there are no others, we all are one.
