Hi God, it's me...
Ā Hi God, it's me...
Ā
Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Can You hear me?
God, creator to all,
Please respond to me.
Where are You?
Who are You?
How do You make your decisions?
Lord,
Iām really trying to understand You.
But I find You to be quite complex.
I need some knowledge of Your ways.
Because, all of this...
Doesnāt make any sense.
You encourage us to trust You,
That You will never leave us.
I know many that have and still do,
Worship and praise You.
Only to endure one blow right after another.
Yet still trusting and walking with You.
Forever following Your word,
While suffering unbearable pain.
Would You mind answering some questions for me?
It would be a very precious gift.
Why must there be war?
Why ever let a parent bury their child?
Why not prevent so many tragedies?
Why must God loving christians,
Have to go though long, slow, painful deaths?
Since my father accepted Christ in his life,
He never denied You.
Fighting for You
And for Your will to be done.
Preaching Your word,
Putting bibles in hotel rooms.
He loved You so much Lord.
His eyes lit up with excitement when he spoke of going home (heaven).
I held his hand as he was dying.
It took months for him to pass...
He was child like and so very terrified.
I reminded him of You and told him to go home,
"It's ok daddy,
I'll see you when I get home."
I never seen my father in so much pain.
Lord, why did You wait so long to take him home?
IĀ think You can,
At times, be too harsh.
Some have worked so long and hard for You.
Yet You still watch them struggle...
Jesus died on the cross for our sins,
But we still pay dearly for them.
It seems, that Christians never receive credit for their hard work.
Truly, they are Your humble and meek servants.
Yes, Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
Enticed by Your fallen angel.
If you wanted Father,
Satan would cease to exist.
Why did You give him the power of free will?
Why couldnāt Eve just be forgiven?
Or even taught a lesson.
Instead Your hand was severe and swift.
There was no unconditional love at that moment.
Just fear for them and anger from You.
Lord, do you have a bad temper?
Please I am not trying to insult You,
I'm trying to understand You.
I want to feel closer to You...
Well it was nice talking to You.
I hope to hear from You soon.
Iāll be here waiting and listening for You.
Father God can you forgive us soon?
It sure would be nice to take a stroll with You and visit for awhile.

Hey, Lori.
I've asked the Cosmo staff here similar questions concerning how they go about selecting the "best" poems for the contest during any given month.
I've gotten no response from them either.
The way you've written this is exactly how I pray.
No "thees" or "thous" from this guy. I speak to God as if I was talking to a dear old friend.
For isn't that precisely what we're doing when we pray?
God may not answer us as soon as we would like, but He will answer us eventually.
We only need possess the faith of a mustard seed.
Nicely penned and well expressed.

Thank you. I wrote that in 2010. I've grown a lot in my faith since then. God has blessed me in so many ways. God bless you?
God bless you too, Lori.

God is a spaceman, he is lost himself and is trying to find us, he is a white rabbit in the snow, he is not and will never be who you think he is, first things first, stop referring God to he. He is everything, light and dark, the earth and sky, neither him nor her so never wonder why that he is to blame for he doesn't operate on our plain. Your answers are ancient and out of date like the Bible, move past and seek the love that guides you, don't label it and don't refer to it, just let it be, just love.Ā
Great advice thank you. Love your insight. I wrote that in 2010 and have learned a lot since then?
With all due respect, I'll stop referring to God as "He" when they change the text in the Bible to reflect that, Gerard.
NOT because you say so.
1 Corinthians 10:13
13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
1 John 1:5
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Isaiah 40:23
23 He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
'Nuff said...
He and him, written by man, outdated Bible guiding us into oblivion, I stand by my remarks and my beliefs, quoting man's scripture will not enlighten me, I love and hate, I want to destroy and create, I am lost yet I am found and I will eventually die in the ground.Ā
Who says it's outdated...you?
Hah, who are you to make such a claim?
This human husk we call a body will rot and decay away in the ground for ALL of us one day, Gerard.
Yours, mine...well, not mine, I'm being cremated...President Trump's...everyone's.
Written by man, inspired by God.
Look, you believe as you wish and I'll believe as I was taught.
And never the twain shall meet, deal?
But don't try and impose your warped philosophy on others .
I ain't buyin' it.
Good...
Ohh, my apologies Mr Dean, I hope no one has been tainted by my warped philosophy, please hit me once more with your bible, I have been a sinful child and need to be punished, hit me hard with that leather cover, engulf me in your scripture and never let me step out of line again.Ā
No, that's okay.
There's someone far more qualified than I waiting to judge you.
It's not my place to do so.
Your day will come, as will my own.
Besides, why waste my energy? I have more important things to do.
Yup what Dean said. Well put. Energy should never be wasted on negativity.Ā
Negativity breeds. Be positive, it's contagious. Have a blessed day.Ā
You do the same, Lori.
God bless...
~Dean :)
I love that you referenced scripture. Well put. And your right enough said. God bless.
āĀ ā?ā ā ?
Hello Lori...
I always thought that it's the lessons and the struggles that brings us closer to Him in the struggles and tears that strengthen our soul just like His word is nourishment as well...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Thank you. I wrote this in 2010. I've gained a lot of wisdom since then. My faith has grown strong and I now have a relationship, not to be confused with religion, with God.
God bless youĀ
