Baruch Hashem, I was zocheh to set a time for learning before Shacharis. When you learn before davening, your davening is different and the entire day is different. This learning is very important to me, and I make every effort to carry it out even when it doesn’t come easily.
This morning I went to the bus stop to wait for the bus to take me to yeshivah to daven Shacharis and, of course, to learn beforehand. Suddenly I realized that the bus I was waiting for had just passed my stop. For some reason it had come earlier today, and the only way I could get to yeshivah would be to wait for the next bus, which would delay me to the point that I would miss my time for learning before tefillah.
There was also another possibility; it was not so realistic, but perhaps it could work: I saw that the bus that had just passed the stop was waiting at the traffic light. The driver never opens the door when he’s waiting at a traffic light, but perhaps this time he would? I ran after him, signaled to him, and saw the expression on his face – he was deliberating, and then he decided to open the door. I boarded the bus and was on my way to yeshivah and to my regular morning learning schedule.
I saw tangibly that Hakadosh Baruch Hu helps those who exert themselves for holy matters.
