Dear God…
Please help us to stop arguing. Everywhere, everyone seems to be pointing and blaming or yelling and disgracing – attempting to shame those with differing opinions into agreeing with them – even at the cost of a lie. Help us, God, to listen more and judge less. To help more and hurt less. Show us…

Dear God…
Dear God: Instead of rolling with the punches lately, I have been rolled over by them. And, not even just punches, but tiny, little pokes as well. Something simple will come along that upsets my normal routine and I can’t find my way away from irritability. What is wrong with me? I know, I know…

Dear God…
Help me to listen – really listen. I have been asking for so long; seeking Your way in my life every day; praying for the answers. So lately, I have been trying to listen for Your answers – and failing. All I hear is noise – car engines revving, birds chirping outside my window, helicopters…

Thank You!
Dear God: Thank You! Thank You for the voice of the newcomer. The voice that reminded me of gratitude. Gratitude for the things I forget about when I face adversity.

Dear God…
Help me again, dear Lord. My heart aches with disappointment, sadness, anger and bitterness. I feel used and cast aside. I feel unworthy, even though I know I am worthy. I feel nonessential, even though I know that is not true. I need You to infiltrate my mind. Enter at Your own risk and whisk…

A Note to God
Dear God: Sometimes I just cannot understand the point of what is going on around me. Right now is one of those times. The frustration that runs through my veins is palpable. Knowing what I know and not being able to say it for fear of financial insecurity; knowing what I know and not wanting…

Longing for Spring
Dear God: Thank you for the softness of the morning sun, glowing behind a thin veil of clouds as I drove into work this morning. It reminded me of Your always presence. It reminded me that even when life is cold and foggy and confusing, You are still there, sending Your warmth and comfort. And,…

Dear God…
I feel tired today, God. The tired that will never be erased by a nap or a good night’s rest. The tired that just sits in my heart and sends waves of weariness through my veins. Tired of snowy weather. Tired of the same old job. Tired of waiting for answers. Tired of loving the…

What Do You Want?
Dear God: What if I feel nothing to write? What if I try and nothing comes? What do I do with a blog space that is blanker than any page has ever been? How do I recover from missing a day – or two – or even three? This is what You want me to…
