Letter To God

Thank you for what you did in saving me in 1972, and how you have changed my life in the years since. Specifically, in saving me, you literally rescued me from sin and the brink of death. You recall, Jesus, how the enemy rode me like a beaten and broken old horse and reviled me continuously with his lies. I felt stressed to the point I was going to kill myself using the strychnine tablets we used in the dairy herd testing kit back then. Remember how I saved them up and how I believed the whole world would be so much better with me out of it? I actually believed I would be making room for a more productive person whose air I breathed; whose space I inhabited. What a terrible, horrible, filthy lie!

You showed me what your Son has done for me and convinced me of your great love and forgiveness LORD. You proved to me over and over how much I mean to you by answering prayers and even doing miracles. My rescue from depression was a miracle. You cured me of painful endometriosis and addiction to smoking. Hank’s deliverance from alcohol, from smoking, and cancer are just a few examples of your marvelous love and personal care in action for me.

Now, I am a changed person. You set me free from sin and guilt by forgiving me. You freed me from craven fear. You ended my useless search to be good enough; to have the right to live. Even now you are defending me with your victorious right hand (Isaiah 41:10). You covered me with the Precious blood of Jesus cleansing me and keeping me safe from the evil one. You still keep me safe by your mighty power and the blood of the Lamb. You have given me a thirst for your word, the Bible. Now, with the death of my sweetheart, you have truly become my all and all. Praise and glory to your name forever! Please help me remain faithful to you and do your will, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask and pray. Amen   Doma
