There was a time when my emotions were difficult to manage, and both my body and mind felt weighed down. But before I knew it, my mood had lifted, and I regained my strength. On a day overflowing with happiness and gratitude, feeling that Heavenly Father and Mother had helped me through my struggles, I shared with a member sitting nearby that I was feeling much better. The member smiled brightly and replied:
“Deaconess, do you know how much I prayed for you?”
I was momentarily puzzled by the unexpected words, but soon my heart filled with warmth and deep emotion. When I had briefly and unknowingly expressed my struggles, this member had remembered and persistently prayed to God on my behalf.
Reflecting on this, I realized that although I often said, “I’ll pray for you,” when others were struggling, I had to ask myself how much I had truly prayed for them, with genuine sincerit, as if their burden were my own.
It was such a profound happiness to know that someone had thought of me and prayed for me like this. Through this experience, I once again realized how great the love I have received from God truly is—the love that allows me to enjoy such blessings after meeting Father and Mother.
I gave heartfelt thanks to Father and Mother, who pray for me first and constantly care for my soul, and I was deeply grateful to the member who had silently prayed for me. From now on, I resolve to offer earnest prayers for others, bringing happiness to someone else.
