Letter to God

::My quiet time::
Recently I was inspired to write my own letter to God in a safe place I'll never lose, like my blog.
Enjoy.

Dear God,
Though you know the innermost part of my being, I can only hope that through my free writing I am able to
encourage myself when I forget the tune of this song my heart sings to You.


I love you. More than anything. Not because of what you did, or what You do for me, but simply because of who You ARE. My father.
You created me when you didn't have to. You knit me together in my mother's womb and called me
wondeful. You planned a purpose for my life and shield my way down it's path. You...are my love.

Though I've never physically seen You, I've seen your hand, your works, your signs....And every bit
of that has left me speechless, my mind can not fathom your splendor.

You touched my heart at an early age and since then you have dwelled in the core of its very beat.

At times, I get lost in my own selfishness, but I thank the Holy Spirit who is consistently drawing me near to You.  Jesus, Never leave my heart.
This world, it has nothing for me, yet I'll never be good enough to resist its sin. I can only but try my best
to be purified through you daily, die to my flesh, take up my cross and continue to follow You....
but even then I fail at that.
Jesus I want to be just like You, but just like John the baptist said, neither I would even be
worthy enough to carry your sandals.
Holy Spirit you remind me. You remind me, that though I was born into sin and should probably deserve death for all my wrong doing, I am more than qualified to be called a Child of God and
A princess to the King of Kings.

I humbly ask that you always remind me of that precious blood I have been washed in.
That precious blood that was shed on my behalf and calls me redeemed.


There are moments I cannot move, so Holy Spirit move through me. Take me in the direction that will
serve your will for me. Shut my mouth to resist ungodly talk.
If I have to speak , let it be You to speak through me. Never let the Word I share with others return void.
Shut my eyes to ungodly sights.
If I need to see anything, please show me where to look. Close my ears from empty words.
If I must hear, please whisper your message into my heart in a way that I can understand.
Direct my feet from ungodly roads.
If I must walk, let it be tracing the prints you've already marked. If I should stop in my ways, give me a
gentle push beyond fear and doubt...This is my prayer.

Lastly, perfect me in the ways You desire. My heart, it belongs to you.
I am yours.
All of me.
