Dear God:
I don't know why you let things happen the way you do, or why, in your omniscience, you allow things to happen when you know that I'm going to wind up feeling hurt.
If you're trying to teach me a lesson, then I've learned it, I promise. Somewhere, deep inside, I know the truth.
Please take away this thorn and let me be at peace with my life. Send me through the fire once so that my impurities can be melted out of me,. But, dear God, let it be only once and let it be hard so that in the days after I will know no such pain, or loneliness, or hurt.
Let me feel your presence as one who leads me by the hand. Don't let go, because when you do, I lose my direction.
Dwell in my words that others may know of your presence - you're always there, God. Why do you allow us to forget this?
Why is everyone so distant to my inner most feelings? why can I not, in their absence, feel you? Why will you not penetrate every atom of my being?
Break me and use the pieces to make me into the one you want me to be.
Amen.
