Dear God,
It's me, the girl who often doubts your teachings
and ignores your words. The girl who only asks
when she wants and when she desperately needs.
But despite my flaws, despite my arrogance,
You have always forgiven me, and listen to me
when I call.
I don't doubt your work, in fact I've seen the miracles
you have performed on my family and friends.
I do believe in You in a way I don't believe in anything else.
You brought Christopher back to life
You healed him so he can stand again.
You cured my grandmother of two cancers
and You gave meaning to their life in their old age.
Sometimes I only ignore your teachings because
of the continuos praises they sing of you.
And I will admit it's true.
Dear God,
Today I call on you again.
My family and I will be calling on you, and asking you for
one more favour:
You have been by my grandma's side for a long time now.
And now that the doctors may have discovered
something new, something possibly bad,
Please be by her side.
Keep her calm, keep her healthy
Please hold up the faith in her that she has for you.
She is scared, so am I, so are we
But we don't want to worry over what may not be.
I am praying that it's just some extra tissue
that can be removed, and nothing else more serious.
But let her nor my grandpa worry about this situation.
Instead pour happiness and hope and faith
into their hearts.
Let them look forward to the brighter and warmer
days to come.
For this and more and for everything
you have blessed me with,
I give thanks to You.
