If you could write to God, what would you say? what would you ask?
Read letters from other writers:
Have you lost your voice? Gargle some salt water. That’s what I do. This Earth can be so unpleasant. No offense. I bet you regret giving man language. We suck! Yesterday I saw a homeless man sitting on his hands and it made me think of you. Please don’t ask why. Guess what. I took your advice-I pulled out all of my baby teeth with a pliers. I’ll try to tell you a story if you want. A man with a cross tattoo on his arm broke into Mitchell’s condo when I was laying on the couch. He didn’t take anything; he just left. Maybe he was afraid of killing. Not all tattoos have to mean things, you know. Besides that, I guess I don’t have much more to say. At least, not to you.

Thank you Father for all of your blessings and protection my entire life. I know that you are here always. Please forgive me for all of my sins. Please protect and bless my family and give me the strength to keep us together and make the right decisions. During these tough uncertain times I know that you will bring us through as you always do. Please help me with my negativity and uncertainty. Please Father help me to be positive and thankful for my blessings are great and my sin is not appreciating it always. Please help me to be kinder to my family.

Dear Lord
It’s me again, I don’t know if you hear me when I speak to you because I feel like I’m talking to myself & I sometimes feel like I’m crazy for doing so. I’ve been praying and praying for help in finding a job & getting my license so I could learn how to drive. You’ve put me in a position to be trained so I can work at this place but there’s just so much to learn & I just don’t feel like I have the confidence to pull it off. I was only shown how to do some things & the rest I had to figure out on my own, I made so many mistakes. The customers just looked at me and I tried to be confident & to do my best but I just felt so embarrassed everytime I stuffed up. I don’t think this is the role for me.
I was told to work on my confidence, to speak up, and do work on my customer service skills. I’ve never done anything like this before and I don’t know anyone at this place I just feel so alone. I’ve never been the new kid in school but I feel like this is a similar feeling except it’s in the real world with adults. I’ve got so much more on my plate and I just feel like I have nobody to talk to down here, everyone’s busy with the own lives. I’m so sorry for being such a failure. I’ve tried to hold on for so long for my mum especially but I just can’t do this anymore. I find myself just daydreaming throughout the day and I can’t seem to gather my thoughts, I don’t feel like I’m ever truly happy anymore. I just don’t understand how I let things get this bad I really don’t know why I’m still here.
So much more to write but I’ll leave it
From Me

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you for all that you are. I thank you for being the only family I’ve got. I love you for being there for me whenever I need you. As my divine and loving Father, I know you care for my wellbeing. My love for you gives me trust in you and tells me that everything is for my benefit and that this “trial of my faith is more precious than of gold which perisheth”. I trust you in this completely and I have faith you will help me fix this big problem.
I write you because I’m facing a profound crisis in my life that will alter the course of my life permanently. I confess to making wrong choices along the way because I’ve compromised on what I wanted and indulged others their wishes. But now I promise to be more careful about being misled down daisy-paths by others, rather than making my own decisions. I really want to make the right choice now that will allow my heart to sing free again and I’m writing to ask for your strength and assistance in my life.
About my choice: I studied long and hard to become a healthcare professional in the UK and graduated with honors, etc. I thought my little “Dr” title meant that I had it made. But on graduating, I made a fateful decision that – unbeknownst to me – would change the course of my life forever and impact me in a way I couldn’t have imagined.
In 2009 I’d entered into a business agreement to create a private clinic. All my “free”-time, energy, writing and research between 2009-2013 was invested into researching this project and “building” towards it. My drive-for-excellence in my studies was spurred-on by the knowledge that I’d be going into a private (vs NHS) business partnership shortly after graduation. In 2012 on graduation, I declined an NHS position because it didn’t fit into the long-term plan of going in a private practice business. But then the business agreement fell apart as the other party got “cold feet”, leaving me high, dry and totally stranded.
Although I didn’t realise it at the time, without that six-digit “performer number”, I’m unemployable in England – regardless of how excellent I am at delivering the service. At this stage, I’d even work for the minimum wage if it meant being of service and using my skills to benefit others. Unfortunately however, in the world we’ve created, politics, hierarchy and rules take precedence over people, skills and love of service. It comes down to the small-minds holding the power, sitting behind a computer desk, who rote-learn the rule-books, themselves compiled and invented by sucky politics and monolithic institutions who’ve lost sight of what healthcare’s all about!: Service and Healing.
Hence in the oddest twist-of-fate, my UK qualification with honors+ means nothing in terms of getting a job in England. The only thing that matters is a 6-digit number which I can no longer acquire. Neither England nor Scotland seem to want a healthcare professional whose skills are first-class and whose heart is filled with compassion.
I’m left with two options that I can see: 1) Discontinue my profession and take an unrelated job in England or 2) Leave England permanently to work as a healthcare professional in some other country.
Heavenly Father, I need your help and divine intervention in my life. I’m your daughter. I have no other father. You are my only Master. You said in the Book of Matthew: “Not one sparrow shall fall to the ground save that your Father knows it. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” You also promised that “Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, believing, ye shall receive”. Dear Father, I ask you in faith as your daughter, knowing that you love me just as much as you love every other sentient being. I thank you for making that promise come true for me and for answering my prayers.
I pray for a permanent place to call “home of my heart”. I want to be able to stop living out of a suitcase. I want to build and have freedom to create a life of love – for myself, for others, for the love of contribution and service. I want to feel safe again. I want to grow, expand, be beautiful, achieve, climb mountains and reach for the stars. I want to use my skills to earn me a living. I want to write this book and write, write, write, write, write… and never stop writing.
But I’ve been my own cheer-leader in the face of heavy adversity for weeks, months, yeah… getting into years now… and it’s exhausting. I need a final resolution. I’ve worked so tirelessly, so enthusiastically, so willingly and with so much heart over so many years towards a goal, which has only worked against me. It hurts so bad, but at this moment, I let go of all bitterness towards this gross injustice. I know that the only way forward is forgiveness.
I choose to trust that everything happens for a reason. I may never understand the reasons behind it, but I choose love, faith and forgiveness. I forgive those who’ve wronged and betrayed me. I forgive the broken promises. I forgive all the wasted hours of time and work into a dead-end project at the behest of another. I heal from that pain through compassion for self and others. I forgive myself for blindly believing others when I should’ve been following my own inner compass. I forgive myself for not respecting myself, for not listening to my own inner voice and rating other’s higher than my own inner knowing.
I love and thank those who’ve wronged me because I know it’s part of your Divine plan. I pray the ancient Hawaiian Ho’oponopono prayer of forgiveness and gratefulness for each person. By doing so, I release my own suffering and unleash the power to create new beginnings. I pray for help, for financial assistance in this material world and for other-worldly, divine assistance in clearing a path forward. I pray for faith to keep believing… and through that belief, to transmit powerful positive thoughts which contain the power to transform my life from the inside out.
I ask you, please, for strength to find a new home and place of service which is drawn from and feeds infinitely to-and-from the heart, resonating only with my highest vibration, without painful sentiments towards self or anyone from the past. I sever all ties with the pain of the past so that I may heal my life in a way that is genuine and authentic to my soul.
I thank you for this life, I thank you for its tests. I thank you for love, I thank you for pain, I thank you for joy, I thank you for weakness, I thank you for strength. I thank you for victory, I thank you for relief. I thank you for orchestrating my imminent rescue in whatever forms that may take. I am yours. I am in non-resistance to life and to all that is. You are all that is and I love you, my Maker.
With eternal love from a heart full of gratefulness,
Your Sparrow-of-a-Daughter
P.S. I’ve volunteered with Crisis a few weeks ago to help fix homeless people’s teeth. Please let them answer and accept my help. They need it and I’m more than qualified to give it.

Heavenly Father amongst my own made self confusion there is only one constant that I hold dear to my heart. The love I have for the woman I love. Her soul burns so bright & she doesn’t even realise how bright she’s illuminated & all because of being herself! Mind body soul & a heart the size of PharLaps! I have let her down by accident & I never deliberately meant to hurt her with my callous words. I am learning to not react when hurt as I too am a venerable soul. I will stand up to the plate & do anything in my power to be the Man I now am & one she will love till the ends of time….,I send my prayers out to the universe for I will try one last time soon. Third time lucky So helpe God. amen

Dear God,
I have never been this hurt before, I don’t know what to do im tired of crying and I dont want us to end but it doesn’t seem as if he feels the same, I’ve put so much into this time after time and have given him chance after chance, I just don’t get where it went wrong I wish that he could feel how you feel for me I just really need your help, I don’t know what’s happening, or what is going to happen can you send me a sign, tell me what to do I just wish he could see my tears and see how much I truly care, I’m so tired of people taking me for granted, they act as though my tears mean nothing, some times I feel like nobody truly cares for me and sometimes I just want to just… idk, I keep telling myself don’t text him don’t do this so he can miss you but what if he doesn’t miss me, what if he doesn’t care as much as I care(no one ever truly cares as much as I care) not even my family, I really hate that. Again I don’t want us to end I have really tried and really put everything my feelings and all into this, I just don’t know what changed, I don’t want to talk to my friends because I don’t want to hear the I told you so’s, I am not jealous but I don’t want to hear stories about their boyfriends, I don’t want to hear any of it, so I don’t talk to anyone and hope that it helps but I end up thinking about what he’s doing and if he cares and is thinking about me, does he really want to do this, ive never seen this type of him before, was it his father’s death? family problems? I don’t know I just….. Don’t know I need a sign, your words, something telling me what’s going on, what’s going to happen, and what I should do.
Amen.
