Dear God,

Tonight I write this letter to you, even though I know you hear my prayers. Some of my words may be a little BOLD, but you know that I don't mince words when it comes to my way of speaking to you.

YOU gave me the gift of being able to say what's on my mind, especially when YOU and I talk.....and YOU know that I mean no disrespect to YOU or others when I say the things I am about to say.

This has been on my heart for sometime now, and this is my way of letting it out into the open. Thank YOU for allowing me to say what's on my mind. I love you!

My heart is troubled daily by the pain I see, the hurting souls, the lost and alone.

The ones who say they KNOW who YOU are, and yet they STILL continue to wallow in their sorrows...almost like they are giving up because they don't believe that YOU have a "better plan" for their life than the one they have now.

I pray for them.
I think about them daily....hourly.....

I cannot help but hurt for them. I feel their pain-I've been there.
I've cried their tears-I know what it's like.

Help me God! Help me reach them...Help me find those words to say which will finally turn on that proverbial light for them, allowing them to forget about focusing on what their problems are, and turn their hearts around-and getting the courage to face YOUR TRUTH.

I often wonder, "Are they really afraid to totally commit to YOU?"

When they do "let go and let YOU" take over their lives, and they fall.....will it cause them to go back to their old ways? Or will it be the push they need to make the choice to turn to YOU when they fall?

YOU have picked me up many times when I have fallen. I still depend on YOUR arms to hold me up every time I fall. YOU have never failed me. YOU pick me up, dust me off...and I start my walk all over again with you....I want others to see that YOU will do the same for them!

Are they so consumed with their "poor little me" existence, that they honestly don't see YOUR light at the end of the dark tunnel they keep themselves in?

You and I have had long talks about what I need to do in my own life, to keep me on the path that YOU chose for me many years ago. And yes, while there has been improvement...YOU know I still have a long way to go.

I thank You God for always being here with me and for me....Baby steps....and I'm not backing away. I know YOU have plans for me.

So, God...while YOU are helping me in my walk to come to know YOU better, and to do what YOU want me to do, I pray for those who're in a darker place than I.......that YOU will help us find YOU......TOGETHER.

Love,
Daisy
