A Yid I know well experienced an extraordinary miracle—all thanks to his kirvas Elokim. His wife suffered from liver ailments, and her situation was critical. One Erev Shabbos Shirah, he came to the hospital with his young children to bid farewell to his wife... that’s how dire her situation was. His brothers also came to be with him during this difficult time, but as they were preparing to return home for Shabbos, he told them, “Let’s spend an uplifted Shabbos together. We’ll sing niggunim to Hashem and get close to Him.”
And this is what they did. For many hours on Friday night, they sat and sang to Hashem amid great kirvas Elokim—infusing their hearts with the knowledge that they’re dependent and reliant only on Hashem.
It turned out that as they were coming close to Hashem, He was in turn coming close to them. A young man was driving especially wildly in another country, and had a terrible accident in which he died instantly. The two countries had an agreement in which if an organ becomes available, it must be given to the patient most in need in either country. Given her critical situation, this woman jumped to the top of the list, and the motorist’s liver was soon brought over for a transplant.
All this happened without the need to plead with anyone or appeal to anyone—and the liver was transplanted into this woman that very Shabbos afternoon, saving her life. Today, she’s a strong and healthy wife and mother, may Hashem continue to be with her.
