He is sitting at the door of my office when I arrive with
another client. “Can I see you,” he inquires. “Yes, as soon as I have met with
this gentleman.” Upon the departure of “Sam,” I invite him to join me in my
office. He quickly informs me he is a Muslim and wants me to pray with him for
his wife who has many chronic health issues. We discuss his life situation for
awhile. He shares his life story of coming to America after graduating with a
college degree in the Middle Eastern country where his father lives. He shares
his story of several marriages and a lot of instability. Eventually he tells me
more about his home life and why he is homeless. Apparently, he had an
altercation with his teenage son that resulted in the police being called and
my guest being arrested for domestic violence, hence, he is homeless. We
discuss his job search. He is a resourceful man who will find a job. He loves his
Christian wife and wants his home life to be restored. We pray for his wife’s
health, for his relationship with his son and his job search. Upon praying, he
grasps my hands, looking into my eyes he thanks me for my prayer.
