What a beautiful letter I can't describe how beautiful it is. Words escaped me if I had a six. I would give you a six, but I'm sending you a virtual one instead.
It's also great to hear a person's journey. A person's spiritual journey and the person's journey through fanstory as he shares it with us so good work!
I see no issues with spelling sentence structure grammar subject matter. I think it's great, a wonderful story of faith and too fanstory. Wonderful job! I wish you best of luck have a great night.

Comment from Ric Myworld
A prayer in the form of a letter, and the scripture "My Tongue is the pen of a ready writer," certainly tells us of those who step up to witness and proclaim the Gospel. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for reviewing. We need more to, as you say, step up to witness and proclaim the Gospel. I appreciate your kind words. John

Thank you for your heartfelt words of prayer. I believe most of what we do is achieved with God's help and guidance. Writing has always been therapeutic for me and I've prayed for His help and guidance many times while penning my thoughts! Great job and thanks for sharing this with us.

Our testimonies are like perenial flowers that bllom at times while at others they sleep. They are as beautiful when heard as a lily is when it blooms, Well done.

Remarkably said, my friend; the wisdom of your words quite profound. Thank you for your review. John
Comment from Paul Manton
My dear friend, Allow me to point you in the direction of a most wonderful psalm: PSALM 45 verse 1 says (regarding the king, as it is a Royal/ Messianic psalm) "My tongue is the pen of a Ready Writer . . . " and in some translations 'of a skillful poet' or 'scribe' - in other words we are commissioned to speak and write for The King (of Kings).
All that you say agrees with that John, and makes my heart sing - those of us who love the Lord are to use our gifts for His glory - and for us, that means writing. You can take it from me that He knows your gift and He wants you to use it as much as possible.
We are surrounded by Christians on this site, but we don't all turn up on the same day at the top of our game - and many here are broken and sad: we have a ministry to our brothers and sisters of encouragement - just like Barnabas so long ago. There are so many opportunities to be the Lord's messengers, John - the word in Hebrew is 'malachi' = my messengers - and it is the same word for 'my angels'.
Be encouraged.
Paul

Thanks, Paul. You sent me straight to Psalm 45. I wasn't familiar with this verse. It's amazing; I'm not sure we realize what a poetic masterpiece the Bible really is. If you don't object, I plan to include that verse in the notes and referencing your name.
{'m far from an angel, but I would like to have the privilege and honor of being one of God's messengers. Thank you for reviewing my letter to God and providing such instructive and inspiring comments.
Blessings,
John

Welcome, John. The Bible is a treasure trove all right. I wish I spent more time with it every day. I never cease to be amazed at what it can teach us - like Aladdin's Cave. But richer!
Comment from lyenochka
Amen! And I love how humbly you respond to the Lord's desire to use you and your pen to inspire others. It's like St. Paul who also felt he was unworthy and what a mighty pen he wielded empowered by the Holy Spirit. Great letter to the Lord! Best wishes in the contest!

This is a very good Dear God letter John. It sounds sincere and reflects a lot of what others of us feel. Things like finding this site wasn't an accident for you. God does show up in our lives in unexpected ways and it good when we recognize it so we can give thanks to Him.

Thank you, Beth. It truly wasn't an accident. Sometimes I think we are so busy, we don't recognize Him when He comes, and we miss out on His wonderful blessings. I appreciate your kind review. John
