Look Up

I was on the Cairo Metro.It wasn't too busy, as I was sat down and could see out of the window opposite.As we pulled into a station and stopped, I was looking directly at a man who was sitting on a bench on the platform. Except I could not see his eyes, as one of the horizontal bars that covered the window acted like a blindfold.We could see each others face but could not meet eye to eye. He was obviously a Muslim.I could tell this by the way he looked,especially by the cut of his beard.I began to pray for this man.I prayed "Lord Jesus I close my eyes in prayer that his eyes might be opened,that You will reveal Yourself to him, that he will look up, that he will see Your glory" . I finished my prayer and looked at him again.I felt like my prayer was effecting him, I could see him moving slightly wheras before he had been dead still .Then he looked up- straight up, and held his gaze.After about 10 seconds the train began to move and as it left the station he continued to look Heavenward.
