Testimony 23

I was waiting for a bus at an interchange when a visually handicapped lady sauntered past me. Time seemed to have paused and this time I didn’t enter another dimension but a dimensional encounter entered me. My focus was on that lady, everything else around me looked to have disappeared and they didn’t matter. My heightened senses told me to pray for her but I didn’t because I had been away from church for too long.. Prayer became a distant habit. Furthermore, it would be awkward to pray for a stranger at a public place. What if she accused me of molest?

After many questions and doubts on my mind, she finally went past me and I thought the episode ended. But I could catch a presence beside me. When I turned my head, she was seated right beside me. I had never felt so anxious. My mind trapped in a maze of whether to strike up a conversation. Eventually, I came up with an excuse. If this happened at a parish, I would pray for the person. My guilty conscience eased off after defending myself that I would do it the next time at a church premise.
