If you could write to God, what would you say? what would you ask?
Read letters from other writers:
Dear God,
You are very smart. Can you please write me a letter about how you make people?

God (nah! too direct)
Mr God (sounds so formal)
hmm
Dear God(yup, this sounds just perfect)
Ok so let me start it
Dear God,
It was high time I sent you a letter. Though I always do my prayers on time and often thank you in my heart but this letter was imperative. Some may find it to be a mere formality but a little sprinkle of formality is always needed to express one’s love, gratitude and appreciation.
A written word is sacrosanct and I want my feelings for You (as on this evening) to be immortalized so that when I look at this, years later I know exactly how I felt.
You have been my savior, well You must be hearing that all the time, but then do You remember those tough times when I was rudderless…. You actually helped me out without even my asking. I remember the time I was going through a rough personal patch and had almost decided to give up on You and had even stopped saying my daily prayers.
Then like a gust of fresh air you opened that much needed window for me. Don’t tell me that You don’t remember the time when I was actually finding it hard to pay my house rent. I was unsure about what to do next, two boys, mounting rent, nowhere to go. What could I do, where would I take my children? It was you my Lord who sent that mysterious acknowledgement of teacher application in my inbox (for I never applied in that school). It was surely You who got me that residential school job in a single phone call. If that is not a miracle what else is?
Not only was the rent taken care of, even the meals and children’s education was complimentary.
I just wish that I continue to thank you by forming a trust to help the needy soon.
Last but not the least I wish to thank you for making me realize that all one needs is faith and patience to sail through difficult times. For even the difficult times are sent by you to test our faith in You.
Keep on remembering and loving me,
Yours daughter.

Dear God,
I’ve been enjoying my stay in your wonderful home named Earth. I love seeing those wonderful creatures of Yours. Each time I wake up and feel the rays of the sun touched my skin, I feel really blessed! Thanks to Your undying love for an unworthy human like me. But, I want to take You for these blessings that I’ve always receive. Please make me a wonderful person to honor You.
Your child,

Dear God,
There is so much I want to say… and I know there’s so much concerns and prayers you are attending to right now. So I’ll try to keep this short so you can have more time to listen to others too. My mom is up there in heaven with you — I know, because she’s been good all her life and, for me, she is the best mom you’ve ever made! Please tell her I terribly miss her; but each time I do, I just keep thinking how lucky she is to be in good hands now that she’s with You…

Dear Lord,
Words cannot express how much I am grateful to You for every thing You have done for me. I have my faults and yet, I cannot believe that You are still there for me and unconditionally loving me. Even if I fail You at times, You never fail to bless me and work miracles in my life. I hope to be able to serve You and others better.

Dear God,
I know you must not hear this enough- but thank you for everything. Today, as I watched my daughter playing with her friend in the yard, I noticed how her skin was cracked and dried due to the fact she has bad eczema. Her skin is so delicate compare to her friend, whom asked her “Does, your skin hurt you?”
My daughter smiled and said “Yes, and God will make it better soon.”
“How?” her friend replied.
Laughing my daughter pointed at me. “He gave me my mommy who kisses away the pain and holds me when I cry. That’s how he makes it better.”
Thank you God for letting me hear her saying that, and for giving me a special little girl.

Dear God,
I was once asked by a friend that if I will be given the heavenly chance to have a personal chat with you Lord, what would be my probable question to you. At that time I answered her that I would probably ask you what is the purpose of my life here on Earth. My friend told me that my question is so serious that you God will probably not answer me. I just smiled at her and told her that you God would not probably answer me directly but would find ways to manifest your answer in my daily life. I just would have to find out what are those clues and manifestations.
For so many years God, I nurture the thought that you are telling me something. Much to my chagrin however, up to this time I still had not figure out my real purpose in life. You see, I grew up feeling that I am useless unless I excel in everything I do. My parents made me feel that way. When I garnered accolades and awards, they shower me with praise and recognitions. However, every time I am near failure, they made me feel I am insignificant unless I strive to do better. However, I find no real exaltation whenever I get awards. I felt empty. Maybe I had missed your clues God or you might have decided to let me discover it on my own. Whatever it is, I hope that through your divine intervention, I would somehow realize the real purpose of my life God.

God will always love me this is one thing I am certain of. I have always believed that God will move mountains for me, as long as I believe in his healing spirit in my life. I do not ask God to fix my problems, only to show me the way to find the answers. I also believe that God works through people, so I have to look at people as God’s messengers.
Ellen – 9 June 2012.
Dear God,
This might come as a surprise for you to hear from me. But things have been going so well in my life, and I just want to take the time to thank you for remembering to give me the little things that I forget to ask for. Thank you for chucking the “you only get what you deserve” rule out of the window, and choosing to be magnanimous with your blessings.
Audry – 9 June 2012.
Dear God,
How are you? I haven’t talked to you for a while now. I apologize if I do not usually talk to you whenever I’m busy. Sometimes I’m so occupied I don’t even stop for a few seconds to thank you for another day you granted me. Each day I wake up means a new beginning, a new chance to live my life.
You never leave me when I need you…
Melani – 9 June 2012.
Dear God,
Oh Lord, my God! I could not imagine life without You. You lift me up when I’m down, You carry me well when I’m tired but how come in this life you gave; I couldn’t do anything to stop hurting You. I’m a stubborn child of God though you saved me and told me not to turn back but I enjoyed being bad.
I hope to meet you someday, I hope to see you smiling at me. Oh Lord, my God! I missed you terribly. My soul is moving away but I don’t even want you to let go of me. Please Lord don’t leave me, don’t ever give up on me.
Me – 9 June 2012.
Lord, I do not feel at peace today. I’m worried about my finances. There are just so many things that we need to provide but there’s always not enough money to pay for everything. Lord, I am begging for your help please. You know all these needs and I may not understand the reason for what’s happening in my life right now, You are still in control. Lord I know that you have a limitless supply and this I claim that You will provide us with what is right and in the proper quantities in your time. In Jesus’ name, amen!
