Letters to God

Below are letters that children have written to God.

Dear God:

“I didn’t think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool.”

“Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don’t You keep the ones You already have?”

“Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other if they had their own rooms. That’s what my Mom did for me and my brother.”

“If You watch me in church on Sunday, I’ll show You my new shoes.”

“I bet it is very hard to love everyone in the whole world. There are only four people in our family and I’m having a hard time loving all of them.”

“In school they told us what You do. Who does it when You are on vacation?”

“Is it true my father won’t get into Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?”

“Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?”

“Who draws the lines around the countries?”

“I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church. Is that OK?”

“Thank You for the baby brother, but I think you got confused because what I prayed for was a puppy.”

“Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.”

“I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over.”

“I think about You sometimes, even when I’m not praying.”

“Of all the people who worked for You, I like Noah and David the best.”

“I would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible.”

“We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said You did it. So, I bet he stole Your idea.”

“Please send a new baby for Mommy. The baby you sent last week cries too much.”

“Could you please give my brother some brains? So far he doesn’t have any.”

“Thank you for the nice day today. You even fooled the TV weather man.”

“Please help me in school. I need help in spelling, adding, history, geography, and writing. I don’t need help in anything else.”
