There was a local heathen that was just converted to
Christianity. In fact, he was a novice Christian. One day, he wanted to pray,
but heard that another person was praying next room, so he decided to wait for
the person to finish praying before he started his own prayer.
After 30 minutes, the other person was still praying, and he
therefore waited another 30 minutes. After that the other person was still
praying, he lost patience and went to the person’s apartment, knocking hard. That
person opened the door and this novice Christian started ranting his complaint:
“Why are you so selfish? You’ve been praying for over 1 hour
and you haven’t stopped. I also want to pray to God but I just want to let you
finish praying so that I can also have the opportunity to talk to Him in
prayer. You’ve failed to stop praying and you are delaying me! Why are you so
selfish?”
The other person tried to control his laughter, and said:
“I’m sorry. But I’m not delaying you. Our God is omnipresent
and can hear and discern what everybody is saying, even if the whole world were
praying at the same time. So you can
start praying without waiting for anybody to finish. He isn’t a human being
with severe limitations.”
