Dear God,

Please pull me out of this depression. I'm afraid of things to come. Only You can help.

Dear god,

why am i writing you a letter? Yeah, I dunno (sorry if i offend annyone, but..) YOU DON'T EXIST! YOU'RE A PRIMITIVE MYTH THAT SURVIVED AND TORTURED MY DAD WITH LIES AND KILLED MY BEST FRIEND WHO WAS A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS BY NOT LETTING HER GET BLOOD TRANSPLANTS!!!!

Dear God,
I l;ove you, I really do, but sometimes I can't help thinking that you rreally messed up in the streation process. I know I will never understand you, so I won't bother you with questions. I love you at times. Please help me love you all the time.
Luv (kind of),

Dear God,
Why am I the Hero? why do I give off this vibe that attracts those who need a hero most to me? I mean do I have a Superman S-shield somewhere on my body that I'm not aware of? It's not that I mind I just want to know why? I mean I've always thought that honor, justice, courage and helping those who needed it were ideals to uphold and the right thing to do but why does that make me the guy to come to when your broken? In the end I suppose why doesn't matter, but thank you for giving me the ability to save those who come to me for help.

Also thanks for letting me know the mother of my soon to come Godchild, and for giving my bestfriend and I a chance to see each other soon

This god of which they speak,

I know you not
as what they claim you to be.
I only know you
as an imaginary being not for me.

Everytime I tried to turn to you
you were vacant and non-existing.
When I begged for your help
I found my steel strength twisting.

What did I do
to have this Hell cast upon me.
As a child I tried so hard
to be everything you wanted me to be.

Yet you still pushed me away
everyday closer to Satans claws.
You abandoned me in a teen holocaust
and I found all of my flaws.

I spent years
cutting away any feeling.
So many nights
lying piss drunk staring at the ceiling.

Now I find every inch of me
has been taken and reborn from sin.
From the self-hating blood in my veins
to the sadistic suicidal skin I'm in.

So long you taunted me
by flaunting happiness in my face.
As soon as it was in my grasp you took it away
with new scars on my flesh as its only trace.

I'm here to tell you now
that I found my freedom that you denied.
So many drugs and too much alcohol
and a sinner like me to erase the days I cried.

Yo,Fuck you.I quit,
Happiness found in sin.

My Father, I thank you. You know what for. I thank you with all of my being.

Dear Lord and Savior,
There is so much I want to ask and say. First off, I would like to thank you for all the blessings you gave me. We are a truly blessed people, even at times where it may not seem like it. You always know what your doing. Second, I ask you to be with my family and friends in whatever they do. My family and friends are so important to me, I don't know what I would do with them. Please take care of them.
Finally, the main reason I write is because of her. You know who I'm talking about. That 16 year old girl, just a sophomore in high school, whose life you took away before she even had a chance to live it. As much as I love you and believe in everything you offer, I can't understand why you would take away my cousin and best friend. I know she was hurting bad, but there are other solutions, Father. It happened 2 years ago, but it still hurts so bad! I know everything happens for a reason, and I know you knew what you were doing. I know I will see her again, but the pain is drowning me and I can't seem to bounce back. Help me, Lord, to understand and get over my grief. I need you more than ever!
Thanks for listening. I know your always there.
Your Child Always

Dear God,

I know we don't always know where he is, what he's doing or who he's with...but I pray that you help him stay safe. I'm not sure if it's drugs or something else, but I know he's completely off track. We all are. Ever since Gramma was diagnosed...we just sorta gave up. I'm sorry. Please help us all to get back on the right track and keep my brother wrapped in your arms. He may not believe it, but we love him more than anything. Please help him to know that.

Thank you for all you do.

Eloi, Eloi lema sabachthani?
My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?

though not me this time, her is more like it but I don't speak hebrew so I can't change it, any way I suspect you know what I mean there.

Though really you haven't forsaken her, you delivered her from that dark place, awnsered my prayers, pleas and petitions so I only ask for your continuing help in our lives so she never has to go back

thank you my King, thank you

Father.
The more I know about you, the more I love you. Why did I ever turn away from this before? My hopes, my prayers, my needs, all of them you've answered. Thank you.
-E A

Dear God,

I know it's been a long time, but I thank you for taking me back. I guess I just got fed up with being so cynical all the time because of how it started to wear me down. I don't exactly know what you want of me, but I'm willing to listen again.

Dear God,

i know catholism and christianism are very screwed up religions but i believe in You, so i don't know where to turn to for guidance in this light...

..i mean.. if i bowed down to the catholic church.. then that would mean i believe that you condemned women to be in the lower world.. and that we should be stupidly following the cardinals orders.. which is affecting our rights.. and so on.. .. which i don't

so confused..

Amen

Please keep all responses on this thread appropriate and fulfilling of the topic set in the first post.

Let me just point out: YN is not the place to bash other peoples' religions. It's not my business who you choose to pray to, or if you pray at all. It IS my business to help enforce the integrity of threads posted on YN and to keep conversation flowing and proactive.

Dear God,

Please keep her as safe as you can. Please make sure she isn't dead yet. I know she is making bad decisions but please keep her safe. I want to see her again and know she isn't dead. I want to be able to help her. Please let me help her. Make sure she comes next wednesday. I need to know she's okay. I need to save her.

Dear GOD,

Why don't I think you exist?

And why is it that even though I dont think you are real,
in my desperate times of need
I still pray for your help and guidance

Does that make me a hypocrite?
Or is it a sign I really do wanna believe...

[[maybe in peoples minds it is easier to have something to blame everything on.
good and bad.
an explanation and reason to explain the unexplainable. An idea that is the basis of life...

but if I am to believe when people tell me there is an "almighty power, etc"
why not believe in all the other bizarre ideas out there too?]]



sorry its kinda off topic

Dear God,
Why am I completely on track for a while, then I always seem to come back to something, it's like this nagging question that involves right and wrong. Or is there a right or wrong? Are people just way too judgemental, is it really okay? I'm so confused!
