Dr. Mark, a well-known cancer specialist, was once on his way to an important conference in another city where he was going to be granted an award in the field of medical research.
He was very excited to attend the conference and was desperate to reach as soon as possible. He had worked long and hard on his research and felt his efforts deserved the award he was about to obtain.
However, two hours after the plane took off, the plane made an emergency landing at the nearest airport due to some technical snag. Afraid, that he wouldn’t make it in time for the conference, Dr. Mark immediately went to the reception and found that the next flight to the destination was after ten hours. The receptionist suggested him, to rent a car and drive himself down to the conference city which was only four hours away.
Having no other choice, he agreed to the idea despite his hatred for driving long distances.
Dr. Mark rented a car and started his journey. However, soon after he left, the weather suddenly changed and a heavy storm began. The pouring rain made it very difficult for him to see and he missed a turn he was supposed to take.
After two hours of driving, he was convinced he was lost. Driving in the heavy rain on a deserted road, feeling hungry and tired, he frantically began to look for any sign of civilization. After some time, he finally came across a small tattered house. Desperate, he got out of the car and knocked on the door. A beautiful lady opened the door. He explained the matter and asked her if he could use her telephone.
However, the lady told him that she doesn’t have a phone or any electronic gadget but told the doctor to come inside and wait till the weather improved.
Hungry, wet and exhausted, the doctor accepted her kind offer and walked in. The lady gave him hot tea and something to eat. The lady told him that he can join her for prayer. But, Dr. Mark smiled and said that he believed in hard work only and told her to continue with her prayers.
Sitting on the table and sipping the tea, the doctor watched the woman in the dim light of candles as she prayed next to what appeared to be a small baby crib.
Every time she finished a prayer, she would start another one. Feeling that the woman might be in need of help, the doctor seized the opportunity to speak as soon as she finished her prayers. The doctor asked her what exactly she wanted from the God and enquired if she thought God will ever listen to her prayers. He further asked about the small child in the crib for whom she was apparently praying. The lady gave a sad smile and said that the child in the crib is her son who is suffering from a rare type of cancer and there is only one doctor Mark who can cure him but she doesn’t have money to afford his fee and moreover Dr Mark lives in another far off town. She said that God has not answered her prayer so far but said that God will create some way out one day and added that she will not allow her fears to overcome her faith.
Stunned and speechless Dr Mark was in tears which were rolling down his cheeks. He whispered, God is great and recollected the sequence of events. ….there was malfunction in the plane, a thunderstorm hit, and he lost his way; and all of this happened because God did not just answer her prayer but also gave him a chance to come out of materialistic world and give some time to the poor hapless people who have nothing but rich prayers.
Always be prepared to do …….
What God has prepared you for
” There are No Accidents in Life”
This is great. Thanks be to God and Dr. Mark.
Excellent true
Some say it’s Dr Abraham others say it’s Dr.Mark.Which of them pls?
For those who are skeptical, or for those to whom this might simply sound fake – Trust in the Living God and pray without ceasing, and I’m sure you will have your prayers answered so meticulously that when you share your story people will doubt you definitely!
I don’t think this is a true incident. It might be created to propagate religious faith. Dr. Mark belongs to which country and which hospital? Why can’t the narrators give all the details? But such incidents might occur in real life. God is great. There are many such stories in mythology. we the believers blindly believe them to be true. But in modern times, when such stories are publicised, it is always better to give all the details.
Lokesh and George to answer you
This is the difference between Faith and human logic
y u post fake inspirational story….
excellent, inspiring. But can someone tell me if it is true? if true, please give me more details so that i can use it to teach others about God with a good conscience.
I don’t think it’s a true story…but its surely inspired by true life events…
A truly inspiring story. But is there anyone who can tell me it is only a story or it is based on facts? If it is factual, can someone please give me more details, so that it can used while telling others about God.
How come I a veteran surgeon like myself never heard of this Dr. Mark.
