I ran out to the grocery store today in the rain to grab a few things we needed for the house….yeah, those bones for the dogs were on my list 🙂
When I got to the cart corral in the parking lot to take a cart from the sheltered corral there was a young religious lady was taking her cart at the same time. She was the type of religious Jew that you don’t touch because you might not be clean if you don’t look or dress like her (in their mind). Her shoes were not good for the rain. They were simple cheap flats with slick soles. As she reached forward for the cart on the metal ramp she was standing on her feet flew backward and she landed face-first on the asphalt resting on her chin. Her keys, phone, wallet, grocery list…everything went flying. As she was gathering herself I began to gather her things for her. Now she was sitting up crying and another woman had arrived by her side, as I placed her belongings near her I heard the Ruach say pray for her. Her chin was dripping blood, she was holding a kleenex against it, she was crying, and visibly upset. I reached out my hand and laid it on the top of her shoulder and softly prayed in English. In less than a minute the blood stopped dripping from her chin. I also think she must have felt something because she glanced at me several times in the crowd that was gathering around her. (This is where Israelis shine when another Jew is hurt or injured everyone gathers to help, but she was looking at me). I have no idea if she could understand my prayer she was only speaking Hebrew.
It didn’t matter to me if she understood. Elohim said pray. I did and He honored my prayer to Him on her behalf.Updated Jan 23, 2020, 4:36 AM
