“…Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your
petition which you have asked of Him.” –
1 Samuel 1:17
Many years back when I was
doing my PG engineering degree course I was so afraid of Mathematics subject.
From my school days itself, I hated Maths to the core. After I finished my
schooling I joined diploma course in a Government college. When I joined there
I was told that there will be two Maths paper and Maths II will be so tough to
pass.
I believed what my seniors
and lecturers told. I failed in Maths II paper at the first attempt and God
miraculously helped me to clear the subject at the second attempt. After my
diploma course, God took me to a Government engineering college where I studied
my UG degree. There also I failed in Maths paper at the first attempt and
cleared only at the next attempt.
My parents thought that I
will clear the entrance exam for PG engineering degree course in a government
college but I could not clear that. So my parents prayed and admitted me in a private
engineering institution and the fee to complete my entire course was around 2
lakhs.
I know my parents could not
afford that but they had some money after selling the only one house which we
owned. With so much pressure in my mind I joined PG degree course. I thought
everything will be peaceful and I can get good percentage and make my parents
happy.
On the very first day when I
came to know that I have to clear an Advanced Mathematics paper to get my degree,
I lost all my hope. Mathematics itself was too tough for me then how come I can
clear Advanced Mathematics?
I could not concentrate well in my classes and finally the semester exam
came. I thought I will fail in the paper as I failed in my diploma and UG
course. At the same time I thought about the sacrifice my parents are doing to
make me study this course. Many thoughts came to my mind and I lost stability
in my mind.
With so much fear I used to cry day and night without any break. My mom
thought I will go mad and so she tried her level best to comfort me but nothing
worked. One day before my exam I went to a prayer centre near to the college
where I studied. I poured out my heart to God and cried very badly pleading Him
to make me pass the degree without any arrear.
After my prayer I came out and there I saw a board which carried the
promise verse from 1 Samuel 1:17, “…Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have
asked of Him.”
At the same moment, God
spoke to me clearly through that verse and a divine peace filled my heart. As
God has promised, He heard my prayers and helped me to pass in the Advanced
Mathematics exam and also my PG degree with more than 75%.
Even today you might be
feeling worried about certain things in your life. It might be about your
future or anything. Today God says to you to go forward in peace for He heard
your petitions and prayers and He will grant it.
My dear young friends,
Hannah cried to God for a child and God heard her prayers and blessed her. He
gave her Samuel who became a great prophet of God. Jesus Christ heard my
prayers and helped me to complete the PG degree in first class. He has heard
your prayers and tears. He will do to you more than what He did in my life.
Your petition will be granted by God and you will have a blessed peace filled
future.
