Dear God,
I have one word for you, dude: Vision.
Having been in the ad game since the days when the right length pony tail got you an executives position, I can tell you a thing or two about your brand. Firstly, your PR guys are bad for your image. No one wants to do business with hypocrites so until your boys in the robes can start behaving themselves, your organization is going to suffer image problems.Secondly, cut the hair and lose the beard. I’m seeing a short back and side and at the very least a goatee for you. Thirdly, the crucifix thing died when Madonna set them on fire for Pepsi. I’m thinking we go for a octagon in a nice shade of fushia.Finally we need to condense the Old and New Testament into an online blog and YouTube a few miracles if you want to reach those selfish little Gen Y assholes. Those pricks live online and have plenty to go to confession for, but its gotta come to them so confesstube, may be something to think about.I do consultancy works for $1800 an hour . No personal cheques, I don’t care who you are.leon Stellar,

Dear God,
I only ask that you save my mother and I from suffering any longer. We’re scared, sooooooo scared. I’m 53 for heavens sake, I should be taking care of her..she’s 70 and we’re both looking desperately for work to survive, where are you? Are you seeing any of this? My prayers? do you hear them? what about hers? We’ve never asked for much from you, and we’ve never doubted your love even through this turmoil and bad economy..but now my faith is shaking like I am, it’s crying in the center of my soul and crying out for your help. I know you’re busy…I watch the news, but isn’t all of this torment with in your magnificent power to heal? Where are you? and with out you where are we?

Dear God,
This breast cancer has me scared but I put my faith in you. You did not cause this. I’m asking that the results of my second biopsy are negative with no cancer cells. Please rid me of this cancer, I will take better care of myself and continue working on a deeper relationship with you. This world is only temporary, but it is the only one I know and I’m not ready to leave! Also, give strength to my husband right now and help Austin to understand why mommy can’t hold him much. Thank-you in advance : ) I LOVE YOU!

Dear God,
If God were to read all these letters he would be as disappointed as if he were able to see into the hearts of us.This life UNWANTED, cloned over and over again. And God is to blame??? Look out into our streets and into our homes and the hearts of man. If what you see, what you experiance, and how life makes you feel. makes your life ‘unwanted’ too. Then at least know that it it’s us that make it so. The people. Not God.
It’s our actions that turned this perfect world bad. When someone (a human person, NOT god) goes on a shooting spree in a school and murders innocent people , if he say’s that god told him to do it, do you believe him? No? Nobody does… and he’ll be locked in a padded cell, because it wasn’t the voices in his head that shot those kids dead, it was him. God is not the offender here. So… he did not come and rescue us from ourselves… That’s because we’re not worth saving. Even the good are bad. This is what we did with our free will. Hate, kill, judge, neglect, molest, rape, torture, war, greed, money, control, drugs and on and on we chose.

Dear God,
It’s me again, the one you refuse to take. You have taken everything I ever had, and everyone I ever loved. People still talk of you like you actually do something. You do NOTHING!!! Never have, never will. You took my mum when I was 9, but left my worthless molester father alive. I needed her!!! I need my mum. She loved me, one of the only people in this world that ever did, and you said no…I’ll take that from you. You took my husband away. I know he swallowed those pills, but you could have see to it that I woke up sooner. I was 18 and you let Derek die in our bed, in my arms and then you took the baby from me too, the one I hadn’t told him about. The day her dad was buried, she died too. HOW IS THAT RIGHT?. I took that overdose for a reason, there is a reason I loaded my pockets with rocks and walked into the Ocean. I WANTED TO DIE. I didn’t want to be found, I didn’t want to live. I wanted to be with my mum, Derek and my baby. You effed that up too, so thanks for nothing. I have tried and tried so many times to end this, that now I am really scared that the day I look in the mirror and say “I’m glad I”m alive” you’ll do the douchebag thing and kill me. You are just that kind of jerk. I hate you,and I defy you to prove your existence. DO IT! Prove it right now, and you explain why I lived on the streets, why I had to have sex with strangers in order to survive, to eat out of dumpsters…explain to me why 13 of my friends committed suicide in 3 months, and not one of them was over the age of 21. I am tired of people telling me to have faith and believe. I just want to die and be done with this awful mistake of a life. Every minute of it was a mistake.
And by the way, thanks for letting me devote a year of my life to Jesse for nothing. Thanks for letting me suffer with his Schizophrenic BS only to have him choose someone else. Thanks for NOTHING! The next time he has a relapse, why not just kill him too. I’d rather see him dead than with someone else (yeah go ahead and call me selfish) You don’t give anyone anything, all you do is take take, take, take and take some more. For once in my life I’d like to see you give me something, instead of ruining EVERYTHING.
Sorry, you don’t get to choose when I leave. I’ve ordered the Helium tanks, and I’ve got plenty of bags. 3 big gulps and I’m done. I’ll give myself what you never had any intention of giving me.
Happiness. Self-deliverance is my gift to me, but hey…you gave us free will, so don’t you dare speak to me of sins committed. You’re the worst offender of all.
By morning I’ll be gone.

Dear God,
Im really sad, I really am.
I told my parents that I’m gay. I thought they understand me, but i got wrong, they dind’t. Now I’m living so far away from home and I really need them to hold me, to support me, “m confused as I wish now I had not told them. What can I do dear God? help me…help them to understand, help them to know that gay people are not horrible. I know that I was gay since was I born but I never told anyone. Why do I have to be gay? Did i make something wrong in my past life?
Help meeeeeeeeee

Take me, I am tired.

Dear God,
I can’t take modern society.
Everything I read in the bible seems to be contradicted by something today. And so many people are just so eager to tell me why you don’t exsist. I’m starting to wonder why I do still believe in you.
They are so much smarter than me and I really have nothing to tell them when they make a point. I just really hope you’re real. Because I’ve been slaving myself over a book that I barely understand. I’m trying to please you because I need you so bad right now, but where are you? I haven’t had much improvement yet. I weigh only 92 pounds, I lost 10 pounds, from throwing up from anxiety. I know you take your time, but is that just a silly excuse they tell us so we can’t doubt you? God works in mysterious ways, well doesn’t life too? Sometimes I just wonder if people’s happiness from turning to God is just power of suggestion. People always say you solve their problems and answer their prayers, they give you credit for the good stuff, well what about the bad?
Why can’t we blame you? I mean you do have the power to do anything, so why are you letting some of the bad guys get all the breaks while innocent people suffer? I need a real reason, not one that comes from some deep moral that I won’t understand. Just, so many people these days need you. And it seems like you haven’t really been there for them. Please help the homeless, and the mistreated, and the starving Africans, everyone who hasn’t seen you in so long and needs you, and when you get done with all of those, please help me.

Dear God,
I’m only 14 and everyday my im stuffed with ideas about god. I go to school. where i have religion class and they talk about how jesus will rise again and then we have ash put on our foreheads and i dont understand it? I walk down the street and people come up to me crying : Jesus is coming!! My best friend is refusing to eat meat for 40 days becos of something jesus did…. I lived in dubai for nine years and everday I was surrounded by cloaked muslims who would rise at 4 am each morning to sing for their god My father is an athiest who says science created everything My mother belives in reincarnation and karma and me? I keep an open mind but its so hard with all these ideas, and out of curiosity I started reading the bible and at the begiinning.. Im sorry.. but it made no sense and your so sexist to woman! : “and she shall be called woman because she is made from a man” and where it said that god flooded the world to kill al animals but how would underwater animals die in a flood? they wouldnt! I dont know what to believe in there are so many ideas about everything the big bang, god, reincarnation and i find it so hard to keep an open mind… Do I believe in you? I dont know I really don’t know. Athina - Australia
Dear God,
I can’t believe that I’m still a virgin. I am 20 years old and I am confident about myself. I have success in school, work, popular in friends, have good sense of style, and beauty. Seems like everything is perfect, but it is not.
There is this big hole inside my heart. I have been single for 4 years and I don’t even know why. I tried to find love or at least crush but everytime I fail. I am starting to feel that I am a coward because I am not being open enough. I wished I had let go of my virginity long time a go so at least I can play around now. I am a party girl and it’s just a big contrary of what other people think and what I really am. I have tried to lose it with my fling but he stopped halfway, saying that he’s not gonna do it if I don’t feel comfortable, which i know I wasn’t. I didn’t tell him about my virginity and then he found out that I’m a virgin. He told my friend that he wants me to lose it to someone that would treat me right and he is not that person. My friends told me to lose it to someone I love and love me back, or at least like. But it’s just so hard to find him. I have been with lots of jerks and I’m always not interested with the good guys.
I used to be a Catholic and I left because of modernity. I had new perception that religion is mostly made by human. I used to believe in abstinence. Now I just want to lose because I don’t care anymore. I feel so sick of it already. I want to do it because of me, not because of the guy. I know I’m selfish but I am just afraid to get hurt. I have experienced it before and it killed me once. I have been through hell. I just don’t want that to happen again.
But now I’m starting to feel that I don’t know how to love. I feel that I can do all the things without man, I can. But deep down, I am miserably lonely and i know i need an intense relationship, a companion. But I suck at these things. I’m starting to feel sick of my perfectionist and independence. I am suffocated everyday. Sometimes I wish I have been born a man, not a woman. So that I can easily lose my virginity without regret.
God, please help me to find my way back into my identity and love.

Dear God,
I’ve noted that people have the tendancy to point their finger at you, and blame you for their suffering.
I’ve noted we as a human race have the tendancy to have the wrong perception of exactally who or what you are. You are God. We see wars, violence, violation, abuse, and more and wonder how on earth could you allow this to happen? I prayed the other week about this. I said awful things to you, and you awnsered back: “God is not responsible for others will to choose, abuse, and more. God is not responsible for others actions.” I took the time to contemplate that. I took the time to realize that we wrongly accuse God for our sufferings.
Life may be a challenge, but we chose this. You are the biggest mystery of all. You are the only thing that is infinite. You always exsisted, and you will always exsist. I love you God. I am sorry for accusing you of the horrible things that have happened in my life. I’m looking around and noticing that a lot of others do it as well. We are blaming you for things you never caused. I know as a person we can only learn from our sufferings. We can only unite as a human race… we can transmute our sufferings and under that is love, healing, evolution, and respect… whatever is under that is a gift. a diamond in the rough, a pearl made from abrasive sand. We have the power to turn “water into wine.” I have a question God. and I wonder… does it hurt you to be wrongly accused? Do you feel pain? Do you ever get sad?
Even though you know why we percieve you wrongly, and you’re so understanding that you get it, do you ever get upset that we as a human race wrongly accuse you? Do you ever get sad? I know you feel compassion. I pray that one day we as a human race grasp a deeper understanding of you. That we get it, and look around and notice the beauty, and the love that is you. I pray for world peace, and I pray for deep healing, I pray for your forgiveness for wrongly accusing you, and the situation you had to watch me go through. I pray for “forgetfulness,” and love. I pray for your protection, and I pray for help.
Amen.

Dear God,
I must admit that I am angry with the government making stupid decision to close or cut many deaf schools. I just finished study to become a teacher for the deaf. I truly have a strong passion to work with deaf children. This year, most deaf school are not able to hire any deaf teachers due budget reason. I truly wanted to provide a lot of love for the deaf children who need to communicate or express their feelings in sign language because most parents don’t communicate with their deaf child in sign language. I have a dream to work with deaf children that’s my truth passion. I cannot imagine working without any deaf children in my life. I Pray for my small miracle to be able to work with deaf children and provide a lots of love……

Dear God,
Why am I still here? Why arent I dead yet? I know you may think I have a life ahead of me but dont. I’ll just end up with a crap job and house anyway so I might as well die now. Give my life to someone who wants it. Hates Life - Melbourne/Australia
Dear God,
I am only 14 but i have gone through what I can describe as hell.Growing up with my mother I was abused physically and mentally and I still have burn scars on my back from it. A year and a half ago my brother committed suicide and I was the one that found him. My father got married a year before exactly. My mother got married almost a year ago to a guy that she knew had mollested girls before, but she still made me live with her - until a little less than a month ago I had hid everything, I was being raped and mollested by my step-father. I turned him into the police and the case has already gone by, he was found not guilty, also 8 and a half months ago I had an abortion because I wasnt sure if it was my stepfathers or my boyfriends baby…yes I have had sex because I feel that it has ruined me and I am not worth anything. 2 weeks ago I ran away from home and was charged for that and i was high. My boyfriend is into drugs and a gang but that is what I have dropped down to. I wish that i could not be what I am today, I have lost my faith but I keep feeling that you are here and you are trying to show me a sign that I am ok and I will do great in life.
I just want to have a sign or maybe some closure in my life, is this truly what I was meant to be…o and I tried 2 commit suicide myself a week ago and I have began cutting myself. I am not sure what to do…can you help me??
Hannah - USA
Dear God,
I can’t hold on much longer. Each time I think things can’t get worse they do. I have tried to be a good person, to help others, to be there and protect them, but I’m falling apart. There is no silver lining, no break in the darkness.
I have given up on anything good ever happening in my life. One thing I know for sure. If you don’t help me there is no option. I try to think positive but each time I do or think things will look up something worse comes my way.
Please hear me, please help me. My husband just lost his job, I’ve gained weight, our 1 car is dying, one of my cat’s is sick, my Diabetes is out of control, I don’t know when the last time I was happy or not stressed, we could loose our house, our bills are piling up, my mom could die, all the things I found joy in don’t work anymore, and my depression has escalated. I don’t want to die, but I do want the disappointments and constant worry, stress, and pain to go away. For once I’d like to have a happy year. Not perfect just not tragic and rout with pain. I feel like I have nothing left but the prospect of more pain. I can’t even help those around me to have a better life.
I NEED HELP PLEASE.
Nicole, Oregon/USA
Dear GOD!Do you really expect me not to have sex with my girlfriend? Do you really expect me to not love my father for his sexual orientation? Do you real expect me not to have fun, not to drink and not to eat meat? Do you really expect me to surrender my whole life for you? Seriously god, you are not the center of the universe. Please stop taking over peoples lives. YOUR CREATED THEM - YOU DO NOT OWN THEM!!!
Benjamin, Sydney/Australia
Dear God,
When are you going to let all those who believe in you know that you don’t exist? I find it alarming, scary in fact, that so many blindly devote themselves, act on the behalf of, and talk to something that quite clearly doesn’t exist.
You’ve kept a firm grip on society through promoting shame, guilt and fear - not of your wrath - but of humanity and life itself.
I get that many of us need ’something’ to believe in, I get that. But it’s still very sad to know that a fairy tale has become the biggest prank in history. I’m sorry people, but no matter who or
what you act on behalf of, what YOU do in this life still matters.
Who you hurt, who you shame, who you love and who you help determines who you are - what you believe is irrelevant - pain, suffering, joy and love are real.
The reason god knows everything you do, is because god IS you! It’s a joke. Don’t you get it?
Dane, Brisbane/Australia
Dear God,
On July 5th 2006, I cheated on my wife of 13 years.
So willing to have a different life, I left everything behind that I had built on for 20 years to be with this woman. After 3 months, I am in the cold with no where to go and jobless. I turned to drinking for a whole year, further destroying my life. I re-met a woman I had dated when I was a teen and moved in with her. Now a year later, I am miserable with no place to go. I am still with her but, my life has been falling apart for almost 3 years.
God, I prayed you would open a door for me to get out of all this, but things worsened,so I stopped that prayer. Sin has taken me way farther than I ever wanted to go and now, it seems as though there is no escape. Sure, I could just walk out, but to where? God, I am battle weary and looking for an escape. Forgive me and help me back to you without losing the little bit of comfort I do have left.
