Simon felt an urgent need to pray. He excused himself from the workshop and made his way to the little garden next to the canteen. He didn't know why, but he felt extremely sad. By the time he reached the tree under which he usually sat during lunch time, tears were blurring his vision. He blinked hard and sat down underneath the tree.

'Oh, Lord,' he said, but couldn't finish what he wanted to say. He choked up and cried; his body shaking as the tears just came out. 'Help them, Lord,' he prayed softly through the tears. 'Please help them.' He didn't know why he cried or who he was praying for, but he felt a lot better a few minutes later. Simon then stood up and walked to a nearby tap which he opened and splashed some of the cool water over his face before heading back. 'Please help them, Lord,' he whispered as he entered the workshop.
