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.
