Wow! This is a potent letter to God outlining most of the current ills of the world. You're not the only one wondering what God's plan is, and when it will be revealed. Even though this is a letter for a contest, God knows your heart and hears your inquiry. I wish you the best in the contest.

Thank you!
Comment from Goodadvicechan
You are right In saying, " Every day our earthly news is rife with stories about pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth."
The world isn't at peace, these deadly sins do not create a good picture that our government can solve. We need God's help.
Let's pray together and hope for a better world.

This is fine for some, but as for me, I will continue to address God through the airmail system of closing my eyes in reverence and lifting up my supplication to God in silent prayer, I hear that he hears very well the prayers of those who earnestly seek to address him, no postage needed.

I certainly agree although my old knees do suffer when I am upon bended knee in pure supplication. 🙏🙏🙏
Comment from lyenochka
I really liked your structuring your prayer with the "seven deadly sins" to detail what is happening in the world today. I haven't heard to connection to the book of Proverbs before and so I'll look that up.
I also like the honest "half full cup of faith" which echoes at the end where you humorously ask God for His address. In the end, we will know He has got this and it will someday make sense in Heaven.
Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
You really did cover "it all" in this heartfelt letter to God. I am convinced He hears, and he cares because He knows all, but since He gave man freewill, too many people are determined to worship their own god and forget the One who created them and the world with all that's in it. I hope this will do well in the contest, but beyond that, I hope many will read it and take heed.

Comment from MissMerri
This letter to God reads so well. It is worded clearly and shows excellent use of language, makes perfect sense and is logically presented. I felt the anguish and disappointment of the author and can certainly relate strongly to the sentiments expressed. I only found a couple of places I thought needed attention:
***It is not only the carnal garage (garbage?) heap of pornographic material ...
***Will I put this letter in a stamped envelope and mailed (mail it?) off to you? Well, God, you know where. (I didn't understand this line)
A most enjoyable piece, and I'm sure it will do well in this contest. MM

MissMerri, my oops... thank you so much! I dropped a whole set of words in my cut and paste. Great catch! Thank you so much
Comment from Iza Deleanu
You are so right, whenever you look people scream about their rights and think they are entitled to everything without moving a muscle. But God said in his holly book: "Who doesn't work, should not eat! But also God gives, but is not putting in your pocket, you need to work for what you need. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Iza, thank you for the validation and good wishes.
Comment from papa55mike
I still say the homeless situation tells a lot about America. How can we watch those people just waste away without having a little compassion? What a wonderfully written piece.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

I think God is well aware of what's going on, and sometimes I think that maybe we aren't sensitive to His voice, but I think He definitely hears you, but sickness is reigning supreme at this moment. Beautifully written Jim, good luck with this, blessings Roy
