Dear God

Dear God,

 

Hello it's me again. It is a long time since I wrote you a letter and I know you want to read this one. Actually, I need to write it. I will get strait to the point. I need help. In reality, I am in a lot of trouble. I do not mind being in trouble myself, but you see other people need my help - a great deal of help. That is why you need to help me. My family has disowned me and I have lost my job because the boss doesn't like me. Anyway, I wish them well and no ill at all. You know what I mean.

 

Please God Look with kindness on the family you have given me. They need help. My wife and children they are a blessing beyond compare. Sometimes I am overwhelmed and sometimes I find it hard to keep going.

 

Dear God, you have given me work to do. It seems like this work is not winning me many friends or even the success I thought would come to me. Maybe I am on the wrong track and knowing me – it is quite possible. So please forgive me, direct me, let me know you are there and help me to know your will. But right now, I have to go!
