Letters to God

Dear Father, I just wanted to take a moment on this last day of the year to write you a letter.  Thank you for everything you have blessed me with throughout the year and for the obstacles you've helped me to overcome.  The year started out so rough and has been quite a ride but I'm able to say it's ending well.  There's been a lot of good this year and a lot of bad and I'm actually honestly thankful for it all.  After all, it is those bad times that make me appreciate the good that much more. Today not only marks the end of a year, but also it marks a day for me were I can say I have been 6 months self injury free.  I couldn't say that if I didn't have Your help.  In the past year, with your help I've gone from not knowing whether I wanted to even believe You existed to acknowledging that YES, You definitely do and I want to have You in my life. I know I don't talk to you like I should, or read your word enough, but I think as time goes f...

Dear Father God, I don't really have words to say right now...I'm feeling sad.  I know you know this already but my Uncle passed away this morning and I'm sure he must be up there with You.  Much of my family here is grieving a loss.  If you can please bring comfort to each of them and wrap your loving arms around them.  This time of year is hard for many without dealing with loss.  I still want to do my best to celebrate Your Son's birth and life.  I think it's going to be a little more challenging though.  It's sometimes hard to celebrate and grieve at the same time.  I love you Father and I love my uncle even if I didn't know him well.  Show him the ropes up there will ya.  I'm sure he'll be watching all of us down here to make sure we are trying to have a good time.  Love FPD

Dear Father God, Christmas is almost upon us and it's easy for us humans to get caught up in what the world's view of christmas has become.  Many of us have forgotten the true meaning of the season....it's not about spending money, running to the store, getting stressed out, or how much we're getting...it's suppose to be about celebrating Your Son.  Your Precious Son who came to Earth, born of a virgin, who died for our sins (yes, each and every one of them) and rose again three days later.  It's about celebrating Your Son's miraculous birth.  Please help me to remember that more during these next few days and to not let me get caught up in so many of the "things" that today's christmas seems to have become about.  Thank you Lord for the wonderful gift you gave me, the only One that should ever really matter to me.  Your Son, my Savior!  This Christmas I want to make it a point to celebrate One Very Special Birthday!  I want to focus mor...

Hello, I'm FoundProdigalDaughter (fpd) and I am feeling led to branch off my original blog called Life's Journeys to one that's more specific to my desire to building a relationship with my heavenly Father and write Him my letters, poems, ask Him questions and really whatever He leads me to do.  At times, in the future, there may be guest bloggers write and share their letters.  This blog though is not about receiving answers from anyone here but just to write your heartfelt letters addressed to God. Family friendly would be ideal, but I know sometimes angry and/or emotional letters may be written and I don't wish for any one to have to censor what they are feeling but to pour it all out to God....even if you are mad at Him.  Trust me, I've written my share of mad letters to Him...although I hope the majority of mine now will be more about my desire to have a closer relationship with Him and to seek His direction in my life. Over the next while, as I feel le...
