חולין כא

After reaching his 108th birthday, Meir stopped coming to Shul. The רב and other מתפללים went to his home to check up on him and found him to be in good health. “We’ve missed you,” they said. “Why haven’t you been coming to Shul?” Quietly, Meir told them: “I never expected to live and enjoy good health for this long. When I hit 108, it occurred to me that perhaps the רבונו של עולם is so busy with other things that he forgot about my existence and I’m afraid to remind him with my תפילות.”
