Writing Letters to God

Writing letters to God is a good exercise for beginners on the path of developing contact with their own soul and with God.

We write down on paper or on a computer everything we would like to tell God and everything we have not yet told Him. It is good to archive the letter and return to it after some time in order to become aware of what has been accomplished with God’s help.

In the letter we may mention:

– All our aches, troubles, and burdens that weigh us down.
– All our grievances. That God does not hear us, that He pretends to be deaf.
– That God once did not grant help in the matter of…..
– That He sent this misfortune…..
– That because of God we did not succeed when we wanted to…..
– That things did not work out for us in connection with the person…..
– All our joys that we want to tell God about, to share with Him the happiness we have experienced.
– All positive thoughts about God that come to mind. “I love You, God, because….. From gratitude to You, God…..”
– “I would like, God of my heart, that You…..”

The written letter should be read aloud from the sheet of paper so that we hear every word. After reading it, we may burn it. Let us assume this is a symbolic delivery of the letter to the addressee. In silence and concentration we may wait about 5–10 minutes for an answer, listening to the heart. The answer will always come, as quickly as we are open to receiving it.

Letter to God

God, Giver of Life, please open my heart and my soul to receive Your love now, when I have already found You, and please open them forever.

You remember, for You know me perfectly — I never betrayed You.

As a child I jumped into the abyss to extend my hand to one who was falling.

The pain that he was falling was stronger than Your truth.

Darkness swallowed us both.

Look, I did not even sell my wings to anyone — I hid them deep on my back while searching for You.

I believed that only through them could I reach You.

My kidney illness and its consequences are not a rebellion against You for abandoning me; it is fear that I will never again find the way to You.

Today, God, I give You this fear and its consequences for my body and my soul.

I do not blame You for anything; it was my own choice.

I already know that You have always been and are with me, and that You have always shown and continue to show me the way back home.

You even sent Jesus so that this return would be faster.

“I do not dwell in buildings made by human hands; I dwell in your hearts — seek Me there,” You said.

Today, God, I have found You in my heart and in the hearts of other beings, in the eyes of a child and in a flower in a roadside ditch.

Help me, God, to open wide my heart and my soul so that together they may be filled with Your love, and may that love illuminate my life and the lives of all beings I meet on my path.

Help me, God, to spread my wings high above the earth so that their golden glow may awaken all those sleeping in darkness, so that they too may fly high and find You — let the whole world become love.

Help me, God, to open my heart and soul to Your love also for that fragment of my soul for whom I jumped to save and bring home. I have finally found her, God, but I know that only You can awaken her and show the way home.

Once I believed that I could do it myself.

I am only Your lost child, God.

Embrace me — I have missed You so much.
