He knows ....

People often doubt whether God listens to all our cries. Often the answer seems to be no. When we fail to receive a response in return, we often tend to conclude that our prayers never reached Him. And we forget about it. But in fact he never forgets. He knows…. I realized this during my initial days of formation. Prior to discerning my vocation, I had a deep desire to become a teacher. Even though I had a good job, something in me always moved to become a teacher. After lots of prayer I decided to give it a try. I prepared hard and gave a good exam. But I was disappointed when the results came. I failed to make into the interview list due to a margin of 1 mark. I was depressed and concluded that my prayers never reached Him. Months passed and slowly a desire to be a religious started growing in me. And finally I discerned my vocation to priesthood. As I had already completed my graduation studies, I was sent to the missions for a year of ‘Come & See’ experience. Here among the other jobs entrusted to me was to teach. The day I started teaching, I realized that He may be late, but He knows. He knows even the smallest of our desires. Sometimes things may not happen as we want, but He knows. And things will fall in its place, according to his plan. Only thing needed from us is a docile heart.
