From the moment our baby came home after his bris, we had no rest. The baby was crying all day. Nothing could calm him down. He would eat, doze, and immediately wake up crying. Eat again, doze again, and once again burst out with screams. It was obvious that something was hurting him, and we didn’t know what it was. The problem upset all of us, and all sorts of advice started coming our way: You should go to this or that type of counselor, alternative doctor, or expert healer. Check for allergies, or see an energetic healer... All these professionals were prepared to see our baby for a high cost and much effort on our part. I was confused by the onslaught of thoughts and advice coming my way.
I said to myself: I’ll set up a meeting with the Healer of all flesh. I’ll dedicate at least an hour to the meeting, no less, just as I would if I were meeting with some professional. This decision did not come easily to me. I put off the meeting time after time, until I decided that this was the best hishtadlus. It did not mean I wouldn’t go to a doctor or a chiropractor afterward; it was possible that this was Hashem’s will. But certainly after a meeting with Hashem, whatever I did would bring about a yeshuah.
I prepared for the meeting. I put on my hat and jacket, and just like that, in full garb, I sat at the table and said Tehillim. Yes, an hour’s meeting with the greatest Doctor of all. While I was at the meeting, my mother-in-law called and told my wife about a new idea she’d just heard. A simple piece of advice that we could carry out right away.
As I was still saying Tehillim, my wife acted on the advice, and immediately, quiet reigned in the house! The baby calmed down and fell asleep for several hours, and since then he has been calm and happy; he eats and is satisfied. The problem was resolved!
This is absolutely true. It’s exactly what happened after a direct meeting with the Creator of all healing.
