" An Open Letter To God"
The following letter to God, is not a personal letter. . . But, is something I might write to Him. . .If I could. I think, if many were to write "God", maybe their letter would go something like this . . .JJK
"A Letter To You, God"
Hello God. . . Here I am again, asking for things. But I know Lord,
you won't let me down.
I just want to say God, that I am so stressed. You know that,
and, I do too. First I ask you to please, forgive me my sins. For I
must come to you with a cleaned slate, and contrite heart, before I request
anything from you.
Lord, you know what I have to put up with to keep
peace, in my life. This world is so troubled. With so many problems,
of your people.
You see me try. You also know that we can only carry so much. . .
My nerves, and temper are wearing thin. Oh, I know I am not perfect, and I
need to be careful of my actions. But Lord, I have so many problems to deal
with, and I know "YOU" are the only one that can really help me.
I imagine you at times, sitting there in Heaven . . .Watching all
that goes on. I just believe that you must shake your head in sadness, as your
children stumble and fall daily.
It is just a good thing that you watch over, each of us, and love
us so much. I am so grateful for your forgiveness, and mercy.
You care and want for all of us to live the way you ask
. . .But we all fall short. I guess because we are HUMAN.
Lord I know you have a continuous stream of requests,
and my request to you is among all of those. But. . .I ask
you to please hear my cries. I am so tired, and at the end of my rope.
You know I want to follow you, and I try. I don't know
why life has to be so hard . . . I guess it is to give us reason
to come to you for help, for I suppose if all went well . . .
Some might never give you a thought, not all of us. . .Just, some.
Each of us feel that our requests are urgent, and I think we all
expect an answer immediately. I know it doesn't work that way.
At least I don't think it does. But since you are all-wise and knowing
I won't question it, nor try to understand. For your ways, are not our ways.
I only know that I need your help right now, and I will trust, that you know
that. I will have faith that you do hear me, and in fact, are reading this very
letter I am writing to you, as I sit here. I know that you. . .No matter
how many people I tell my problems to, you are the only one that can truly
fix everything. . . In your time, and if it is within your will, not mine.
So Lord, I feel that you have heard me. . .And will help me. I just ask now
for the patience to wait for your answer. I ask, that you let me know that
the answer is definitely "From You."
I will wait now. . .In your "Waiting Room" and watch your miraculous
touch, as you work toward solving all of my worries and concerns.
I know Lord, you are not a respecter of persons, and my troubles are
very important to you.
I will close now. . .Saying that I trust you, praise you and I
give you all the glory. . .for being my Lord, and My God.
Amen!
