Dear God,
Thank you for the peace and the closeness I feel with You after so many years of distance. I know You were not the one creating the void between us, and I appreciate the kindness You’ve shown in giving me grace despite my distrust.
Thank you for bringing me to this place that I never expected to reach. You taught me how to find it, despite everything I did to lose my own way. You used every flaw, every wrong turn to teach me how to come closer to who I am now. I’ve wandered far into the night at times, but You’ve never left my side. You were always there and I know You’ll never leave.
Thank you for waiting so long for me to trust You. I love this nearness and stillness I find in You when I turn my thoughts toward You. I sense the love and the gentleness of Your presence, though I don’t understand why except that I finally let go of control and gave it to You. Maybe that’s the reason—or maybe I’ll never know. All I know is that the why doesn’t matter. We’re here and I never want to leave.
May I find favor in Your eyes in any way I can, and may I never give up on You again. Thank you for being my hope and my shield, and for loving me more than I ever loved myself.
If you could write a letter to God, what would it say that you don’t normally express in your prayer time, even if it was only a few sentences?
