One Soul

I made a pledge when I was in highschool. I was going to pray for one soul each single day of the year. Well, I did it, not only for one year but for few years. And who was that person I was praying for? No idea at all. I just believed that there was this person who needed my prayers. And I believed my prayers helped him alot. That when he was sad, there would be somebody to comfort him. When he was sick, somebody would heal him. When he's hungry, there's somebody to feed him. I prayed that whoever he was, God will look after him. And right here, there was one soul who cared to pray for him.

Years passed. I met different people from everywhere in the world. All ages, different nationalities, different beliefs. Some I get to be very close with, get to know some inside out, others are only simple acquaintances, others just passed by. But there is common "statement" that I always get from them. Whenever we converse with each other each one would say, "It seemed like I have known you for a long time". They felt so easy to talk to me, like they have spoken to me their lifetime. Not just two of them called me their soulmate. Some of them would check me from time to time making sure I am fine. Most of them had told me, "remember, there is one soul praying for you under the sky of (Bahrain)" or whatever country they are in. It is a very simple comment but for a heart in distress, it gives encouragement and confidence to know that somebody is praying for me, like what I have done before, I prayed for one soul. Now I know why each time I am sad, somebody would come to comfort me, when I am sick, sombody would heal me, when hungry, there's somebody to feed me, that wherever I am, whatever I do God is looking after me.
