There was a legendary Viznitzer chassid by the name of Reb Shaul Yehuda Ganz. His wife needed cataract surgery, but it was wartime, and no competent surgeons were available. Left with no choice, they went to an inexperienced doctor who managed to blind the patient on both eyes, R”l.
When the family heard about it, they were beside themselves. But Reb Shaul Yehuda immediately went into a side room and recited the entire Tehillim over a few hours, with meticulousness and outpouring of the heart.
When he came out, his children asked him, “Nu, will our mother have her eyesight returned to her?” To which their father answered, “I don’t know. But I do know that when we have a problem, we discuss it with the Ribbono shel Olam. We speak to him, we thank Him for all the past kindnesses, and we daven for the future... and then we do what we must do.”
