The dialogue with God, always is a supernatural experience and is called Prayer.
We expect, an answer, a signal, an indication from prayer and we might feel that we have asked, that we have kneeled and that maybe years have gone through and we haven't been listened to. This happens because we want God to answer in a specific way to us: " Lord, I want this" we say, and if I don't get it, is it because He has not listened?
We must understand that the principle of prayer is sustained by the humility of the person praying: " I ask You, Lord and Father, that your will be done." Here is the great difference, because we want to be listened in our own terms but God will answer in his own and this has the implication that God wants the best for us and He answers according not to what we want, not to what we look for but according to what He has always looked for and wanted for us. And there might be a great separation: " God, I want this or that" And it does not arrive, it will never will, but something better will, something infinitely better because God is the one who is doing it.
We might say: " God, I want to overcome this test" And God will say: " Have you studied for this? Is this what you truly need?"
We might not want to see that we don't want to overcome our limits and we are making God the solution of solutions but without trying by virtue of God be edified and successful: " God, I want to pass the test and I will study, please give me your light so I can understand. Show me the way in order to overcome obstacles and let Your will be done."
That is what God wants, that his children learn how to have responsibility, to pay attention, to have dedication, determination, care. " God, make my fields be filled with sweet fruits as none else." And should we sit waiting to see the trees grow and give fruits? or we will participate, as we must?
A father wants to see how his children at home, succeed by themselves, he does not want to do the things himself, he wants the children to learn the lessons of life. God wants us to participate. God calls us, offering his grace, his faith, let's make out of faith, an instrument of knowledge and experience.
The person who does not serve his fellow men, can't be served himself, the one who does not place himself in the last place, can't be the head of nothing or nobody.
The one who does not work, can't enjoy the harvest because he didn't have participation.
God wants us to live in plenitude, in his wonderful work that is Creation, but he has something else, which is Eternal Life. We are all called to have supper with the Lord. When He calls, if we are attentive, we will have dinner with him but the ones who are not attentive, will not know Him, the doors will be closed and they will not have supper with the Lord God.
Then, God,always listens, let's learn to listen to Him. " Lord, let your will be done." Thus, we will always know that God listens to us.
