It doesn't work like that in my theological outlook. Additionally, there was always a chance the teacher would be there, but he wasn't. You can look at all the situations from any angle you want, but the bottom line is that I got what I prayed for, and that is who God says he is, and I will continue to invoke Him.
Bring on the haters!
