God, please heal my dog. She is suffering a lot, help her fight the virus inside her. Please strengthen her body, help her eat his meal and drink fluids. Lord, you are the king of kings, and the Lord of lords, please hear my prayer. All Glory and praises into your name. Amen.

25/03/2020 – Outbreak
Dear, God.
I just want the world to go back to the way it was. I didn’t think it could get any more diseased. I didn’t think history would repeat itself—but it did. This pandemic came out of the blue. It started with one and ended up with hundreds of thousands. I really wish it would end here. I really wish it would end soon. No more casualties, no more fear, no more hesitation, no more second-guessing.
I think twice before stepping out to the world like it’s an insult to humanity. At this rate, maybe it is one, after all. After years and years of trying to build myself back up and trying to become a decent and functional human being, I really cannot fathom the thought of being forced to stay in this box for such an endless period of time. Why is it after I just became comfortable, I have to hide away from the world that I just adapted to? As sick and as unfamiliar as it was, it was in no way sicker than this.
I think about those who cannot bear to stay under the same roof as their families. How they have to readjust in all the shock and collision that is their ‘homes’. I think of those whose safe spaces were the outside world—their schools, their workplaces, their favorite coffee shops. I think of those whom every time they think of reaching those places to find refuge, must retract their urges and stay inside a place where they cannot think, move, nor breathe. I think of all the people who are sickened by the people that were supposed to love and cherish them, but don’t.
I think of all the insanity and sickness that will ensue due to the endless ticking of the clock on the wall. I cannot even begin to imagine the kind of aftermath this quarantine will produce. I can only hope that the good will outweigh the bad, and that the excitement will outweigh the exhaustion.
I want to see the movies full with couples in love—who just cannot bear to spend another second apart from each other. I want to see the parks swarming with kids and their partners of crime—even though I do not adore nor tolerate them. I want to see the restaurants full with friends who are dying for a cup of coffee and a nice chat. I want to see the people run, throw, kick, swim, and compete without any fear of death or touch—even if I won’t stay to watch until the end. I want to see the people gather to read the lines to a play—even if I won’t participate or stay until the curtains close. I want to see people live in their own spaces and walk in their own paces again.
There are only so many songs I could sing, poems I could write, books I could read, foods I could eat, and memories to talk about until everything becomes monotonous and soulless. It has only been two weeks of this damned isolation and already I’ve felt as if I had lost my sanity and life. I do not want to live in fear—but the world tells me to do so anyway, and I must, since I cannot be a carrier and worsen the apocalypse. Lord, help me. Help me keep my sanity, my excitement, my ideas, my fire, and my faith in everything good. I cannot bear the thought of not being able to do better than just staying home and hoping I do not turn more people undead—or becoming so myself.
God, please help us. Help the people who work in the front line to tackle this sad outbreak. I do not want the world to die this way—or for it to die at all—even though I’ve been trampled and hurt plenty while I’m here. I’ve still got so much to see, so much to learn, so much to hear, so much to hold, and so much to say. I believe it is also so for many other people in this world, and I believe you think so, too. I hope this pandemic ends soon and never returns. Please forgive us—your children—if we are not doing a good enough work to make things better. We are only human and we need you.

God,
I feel anguish. I scream into my steering wheel; I carve prayers into my skin. Why have you left me? Are my cuts too shallow for you to intervene? Must I end my life to feel your love? I can’t keep living alone. Please send me someone who cares.

please help my mother finish her education and please make my family love me I always feel like I don’t belong when im with them and my father is mean to me half of the time we talk. When ever im happy it just takes one hour with my family to make me depressed. Please help my brother get his grades up. I love you god and don’t need you to do anything to help me but do your working on my family. Let them get whatever they was or need.

Dear God
Seems to me like no matter what I do or pray things just keep getting worst.
For instance I tried to hide/distance myself from everyone but still things just keep coming, Im not sure if it’s a test but I’r really on my breaking point right now. I just want to be patient and see what the end result is because things are not looking pretty good right now… I ask for strength and guidance from you to get through whatever challenge i have to face. It’s been hard and stressful, I had to sacrifice certain friendships and some people I’m just so glad and thankful that i don’t keep up with anymore. Life is hard for me and my mom and dad right now, I was so ignorant before to think that everything would be smooth and fast, even before I came to this country, I looked at things completely one sided. Sad, really sad but the battle is not over yet and this is just a stage in my life that God wants to test me in and keep me humble so I won’t take things for granted. My lord I’m so blessed and thankful that you are still after all my sins and unfaithfulness always with me keeping me safe no matter what, Glory be to you my lord and savior.I would go on and on and write a whole book as big as a dictionary to express to you how i feel and felt throughout my life but this game called life, this test is not over yet. I may have failed at it a couple of times but I know I’ll make it through only if you are wit me every step of the way to guide me. For these upcoming months PLEASE have mercy on me my lord, let me hid and work towards my goals and not be afraid about anything in particular… You know it all my lord and just hope and wish that things would be different but I know you have my back! lot to say … hope one day i could get it all out. You know how i feel. 🙁
Sincerely and with immeasurable love
Yourdaughter

Hey Big Guy. i dont know how to start these things really or what to call you. i am struggling with the idea of the bible and stuff but lets push that aside. I want to thank you for all that youve done for me. i appreciate all the good in this world and i know what youre putting me through now is for the best. but i want to ask you for strength to get through this. i dont want to throw some pity party and ask why me. but please i need hope and strength. i dont feel worthy to write to you. I was born in the wrong body but i guess that was your intention. for me to grow. and be the man you want me to be. i dont feel worthy because there are so many other people and they need your help more than i do. thank you for all that youve done.
your son,
Jay

Dear God,
Thank you for all of the help over the previous months, I really do appreciate it. I just need help, with someone very close to me as you already know. She is so incredible and it would mean the world to me if you could give her the strength to tell me her feelings for me. I like her so, so much and i don’t know what to do with myself when i am not talking to her. I need her in my life as i don’t know how much longer i can hold in my feelings for her. Thank you lord for listening, I just hope you can help me.
