It was summer 2020, I was in Athens, Greece. One day, I decided on one thing. That I have to go to another European country to get rid of my earthly miserable and dull life that I had in Athens but I didn’t know how? But I kept praying to God and asking Him to guide me and show me the way. When I was in Athens, I had too much stress, depression, and mentally ill and all day my mind was so busy, I did not know why?
One night, I had a dream, and in the dream, I was with a group of people who were trying to pass the border towards the UK, and half of us including me we could be succeeded to get to the UK and we were so happy but the other half could not. I woke up at 7:30 in the morning and got ready to go to the church. At Hari Church, we had Bible study and prayer meetings every morning at 8 o’clock from Tuesday to Friday. When our prayer meeting started, the leader of the prayer meeting, Mrs. Esther, asked us if we have any new prayer requests? Then I said, yes I have. I shared with them the dream that I had the last night of that day but there was a guy in the prayer meeting who laughed at me.
After a few days, I left Athens and went to the jungle to go forward to another European country. The jungle was very far from any cities and villages. So only refugees, smugglers, and two dogs were the residents of that jungle. Life in the jungle with the smugglers and so many other problems was worse than those wandering days in Athens streets. The smugglers were very rude and always threatening the refugees by pointing the gun at our heads and expecting us to respect and obey them whatever they say.
I was the only one that I stuck in the jungle for almost the entire summer. So I was desperate and I didn’t know what to do? And what is good to me. During that time, I kept praying but I didn’t receive any answers from God. One day, early morning I was asleep that suddenly an unusual one of the smuggler’s guys kept calling me, shouting, and insulting me. Then I woke up and asked him what was wrong with him? He said that I made a mistake and I didn’t obey their rules and I have to leave the jungle immediately. The rule which he thought that I broke, was no one is allowed to go anywhere without their permission.
One refugee guy and I went to bring water and the guy with me said that he took permission. Neither I left the jungle nor I told about the misunderstanding. I directly went to my tent and prayed with the humble heart that I have never prayed like that before. After praying, I went to sleep, and while I was asleep, I heard someone’s voice saying that he was calling someone else. So, I woke up and got out of the tent that there was the same smuggler guy and shouted at me and said, hurry up and get ready for loading the truck. A few others and I were left in the jungle and almost all the refugees succeeded to get out of Greece by trucks. We were four people that after a few minutes we could succeed to get on the truck and inside the truck was chilly between two and four centigrade degrees and thanks to God we four could succeed to get out of Greece.
Our Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father loves the humble heart and answers to prayer of those who pray with humbleness.
