Daily Chizuk #1303

The Shulchan Aruch writes in Yoreh De'ah, siman 335, if someone, lo alenu, has a sick person in his house, he should go to a Chacham in the city and ask him to pray on behalf of the sick person. When someone gets a beracha from a tzaddik, it's a form of tefila. The tzaddik is asking Hashem to give the person a Refuah Shelema or whatever else is being requested. The words of tzaddikim carry a lot of weight in Shamayim. And that's why we ask them to pray for us.
We have to feel so grateful that we have so many ways to gain help from Hashem. A person should never feel hopeless or helpless, because his situation can always change in the blink of an eye.
We have access to the One who could change anything in an instant. And we have to feel so fortunate for that.
