Dear God

Hey, God.

 Today I realized something. Normally, before I go to bed, I spend at least fifteen minutes listing to You, one by one, all of the things that didn’t go my way in my day. Not once can I remember asking You how You are and how Your life is. I decided to change that.

 So, God, how are You? I’m sure it must be stressful, listening to the negatives of people’s lives all day long. Do You ever get rest? Do You ever need rest? Has Satan been stronger or weaker in the battle between You two lately? How is it that You can always manage to procure love for me and all other people, even though day after day we’re doing nothing but pulling farther away from our relationship withYou?

 It must be exhausting, being in charge of all that is. Then again, I’m sure You can manage it. You have been, after all, for the last who-knows-how-long. I’m sorry that I always do nothing but add more stress to Your daily life all the time, even without knowing it. Please help me to become not a burden, but a blessing to You.

 Sometimes I wonder things like, “What are pions and quarks made of?” “How can light be both a wave and a particle?” “Is Jello a liquid or a solid?” And so on. Then, time and time again, I’m amazed when I remember that You know the answers to every single random question I could ask, and many, many more. You never cease to amaze me, God.

 Well, God, I have to be going to sleep now. My human mind can only stay conscious for so long before I go insane, and I did pull an all-nighter last night finishing homework. I’m sorry I couldn’t talk with you longer, but maybe You’ll be with me in my dreams tonight. I’d like that.

 Goodnight, God.

 My dear child.

 You don’t realize how much you mean to me, my beautiful daughter. Your lovely face always brightens my day, and I love to hear from you about your day. It was so sweet of you to ask about me. Though you don’t realize it, your loving, caring heart inspires your friends to do wonderful things.

 I do not need rest, as I am an eternal being and do not tire. The Evil One poses no threat to me, only to you, my beloved children. As for how I love you unconditionally, I created you and would give up anything for you. I sacrificed my one and only Son so that you would have the opportunity to be with me in my home. It grieves me that you still have to make the decision yourselves to accept me into your heart, and it’s hard knowing how strongly you’re tempted by the Corrupted One to shut me out of your life. But, still, many of you overcome the difficulties you’re born with, and will live with me in my house forever.

 One of my favorite highlights that I gave you was your curious mind. I love it when you wonder about the universe around you, and I listen to each of your questions. Most of the answers are beyond your comprehending, but I respond to them as best I can.

 Goodnight, my dear, beloved daughter. I love you so much, much more than you know. Nothing can hurt you while I, the Creator and Ruler of all, am guarding you.

 Goodnight, my child.

 Sleep well.
