Reda Nassif Yousef
Disciple of Prayer
O world.. O people.. O army of prayer on PrayerRequest.. I write to you today with my tears soaking the paper out of pure shame. I am Reda, the one who used to blame God, asking, "Where are You?" I was dying of hunger with my mother and wife; there wasn't a single bite of food in the house, and debts were about to throw me into prison today! It reached the point where I went to the hospital to "sell my blood".. Yes, to sell my own blood just to buy medicine for my wife and a morsel for us to eat! Can you imagine the humiliation? But in the midst of that pain, the hospital called me and said: "The blood you donated revealed a health issue you must treat immediately".. God led me there to uncover my illness and protect me before I even knew! And in the depths of our hunger at the hospital, He sent me an "angel" in human form, who placed 1,000 Egyptian Pounds and two warm meals in my hands and vanished.. We ate while crying bitter tears, not from hunger, but from the generosity of the Lord who refused to let us feel like orphans. The shock that shook my soul came next.. I was carrying the heavy burden of a 10,000 EGP debt, and the creditor was going to report me to the prosecution to be imprisoned today. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. A stranger said to me: "The Lord guided me to you while I was praying, and here are your paid-in-full debt receipts!" Imagine? He paid my debt, bought new clothes for my mother and wife for the Feast, and brought meat and poultry to our home! The doctor came out of the operating room stunned and told me: "Son, you must have a special bond with God.. your wife's veins started working again on their own by a miracle!" I told him: "It’s not me.. it’s an army of saints on a prayer platform who shook heaven for me." My brothers and sisters.. I still have other debts, and we still need to cover the costs of kidney dialysis sessions for my wife, but today, for the first time, I sleep without fear of tomorrow. He who lifted the 10,000 EGP and fed us in our hunger will complete the journey. Christ is alive, and the "impossible" does not exist for Him! Pray with me that He completes the miracle to the end.
