Chaplain Suheil explains:
A 75 year old widow who lives on his own was admitted in the hospital.
After a talk with him in the medical ward his concerns were that nobody cares for him.

His children are married and live far away from him.
He told me that he felt that he didn't want to live anymore and that once he had even put a rope round his neck, but he heard a voice telling him to stop.

As he admitted and shared his loneliness, I asked if I could do something for him.
His answer was “Please pray for me and my children”.
The next day I saw a big smile on his face - one of his children had come to visit him and he was so happy!
