Does God Answer Your Prayers?

i did not pray for answers but could a stronger reminder have been given on this day of atonement? i think not.

 

to atone i must pray. when i inexplicably lose something dear to me and have no recourse but to pray for small mercies - is that an answer?

 

to atone i must repent. when i recognize myself in a stranger's words, and read all about my own tragic flaws, and am overcome by an overwhelming need to repent - is that an answer?

 

to atone i give to charity. when a woman gets past the guards who would've stopped her, gets past the team who then direct her to me specifically...so i can listen disbelieving to her story, and with a sigh think myself a fool, but hand over what i have in my pocket - is that an answer?

 

to realize very late in the day that today of all days happens to be the day i should have prepared for with more care...that is an answer. not a favorable one, but an answer nonetheless.
