Voice mail

We have all learnt to live with the idea of "voice mail" as a necessary part of modern life. What if God decided to install voice mail? Imagine praying and hearing," hi! Thank you for calling God; please select one of the following options:

Press 1 for Requests, Press 2 for thanksgiving, press 3 for complaints, Press 4 for other inquires. What if God used the familiar excuse? "I'm sorry, all of our angels are busy helping other sinners right now. However, your prayer is important to us and will be answered. Please stay on the line".

It could also be: "If you would like to hear Narad sing a bhajan while you are holding, please press 4. To find out if a loved one has been sent to heaven, press 5, enter his or her pan number and then press the O key. Our computers show that you have already prayed once today please hang up and try again tomorrow.

Thank God, He doesn't have voice mail and he listens whenever we pray!
