#AtoZChallenge : To God

Dear God,
First things first, how are you? I know it may sound odd for
me to ask you how you are but let us face it, with all that is going on in the world today I don’t think that you are doing okay. I know that you must be feeling sad looking at the violence in the world around, innocent blood being shed. All of us here just keep asking you for help but we never bother to ask you how you are and to do our bit to make you happy. So I just thought that I would ask.
From the time I was a kid, I was told about you and I have
always being glad to know that there is someone above who takes care of me, who watches over me when I am asleep. I have always been intrigued by you- about how you are present everywhere, about how you look after each of your creation. Our notions of you don’t make sense at all. Most of us believe that you are there- we just call you different names yet we fight against each other just for your sake. Why do you let us do that?
“God has
given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.”
-Billy Graham
Well, don’t you get tired? All of us just keep pestering you
with our list of prayers for our needs, our luxuries and our selfish desires? And what with people forgetting you once their wish lists are fulfilled? Many of us come to you only when things go wrong because when things go right it is only because of our hard work and talents- that is what we choose to think. We are supposed to give as we receive. But for all the good things that we get from you, we only choose to give hatred, anger, jealousy to others. Why can’t we give each other some love, care, trust and understanding? Why can’t we share a smile?
Personally, I thank you for all that you have done for me from the time
I came into this world. For all the things that you have blessed me with, for all the troubles that you have saved me from, for making me who I am today I am grateful. But there is just one thing I wish you didn’t do. How I wish you could make dad stay here longer with me rather than taking him to you? I know you had your reasons. And I know even though you took dad away you have ensured that I am okay. But it just hurts you know. I hope you will continue to bless me and if there are any problems that may come on my way, please give the strength to face them. Thank you for everything.
Love,
Reema
I’m taking up the #AtoZChallenge and my theme is “A letter for a letter”. So make sure you read
all the letters from A to Z.  Also participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge. |
What a beautiful, heartfelt letter to God 🙂
I'm glad to have read it just before retiring to bed because it has filled my heart with immense gratitude for everything that the Almighty has blessed me with.
Loving all your letters Reema.
Keep up the wonderful work!

I'm glad that you loved it 🙂 Gratitude is the best gift we can give God. Thank you 🙂
A truly heartfelt letter to God :). It's so true that in the good times we rarely think of God and thank him for our happiness. We all have become so self – centered that only when we need something, we remember God!
Yes Aseem that we all do. Thanks for the comment 🙂
What a beautiful, heartfelt letter! Lovely start to the day reading it 🙂
Cheers!

Thank you Shalini 🙂
Now this is a letter God would like reading. A thank you letter is less. Petitions are more. What you've done for him today, I hope he does something great for you too. Great post as usual!
Thanks Lance for those lovely words of yours 🙂
Truly a letter which God must pick up from his heavenly post box and read. He'd probably email it to all of us in the world.
I guess the only one who accepts our ungratefulness without any comment is God. We need to change that. Sharing this 🙂
Aww. Mithila thanks for those wonderful words. 🙂
It's the best thing Reema to feel gratitude for everything that being bestowed upon by the mysterious power. Such beautiful thinking. God bless you always 🙂
Thank you Shalini 🙂

Interesting letter. Good job.
Hello Lenni,
The first week of the challenge was great and I was able to post my posts each day and read and comment as well. Looking forward to visit more blogs.
Awww. I was imagining a kid you going through complex thoughts about God and for some reason it cheered me up 🙂 nice post.
Thank you Maggie 🙂
This is so wonderful! We really do forget to thank God for all he (or is it she??) has given us… We need to add a thank you to our daily prayers..
Good going Reema!

Reema darling, this was so innocent and heartfelt. God will be happy with this child of his for her sweet, beautiful and true words. May He bless you with all you seek.

Such a nice letter to the Almighty 🙂 I learned one thing from God that he gives problems in life but delays the solution to the problem and ultimately some give up thinking that he doesn't listens to prayers.

Yes, patience is all we need some times.

Thanks for the comment.
I'm so touched with this letter. In this rat-race life, we hardly stop to say ThankYou to the One who gave us the reasons and strength to run in the place. All we do is question him when we are in trouble!

I'm glad that you could connect with the emotions of this letter. Thank you Nibha 🙂
Beautiful idea. It's a prayer in a letter to God. I like the thoughts behind this idea.
