The Parish of Porth Newydd
Dear Mr. God,
A lot of people enjoy reading some children’s definitions of what Love was … so here are some rather cute prayers! But let’s remember, when Jesus said,
“I tell you the truth, unless you change and become
like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore,
whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.”
Matthew 18:3-4
… he said it for a good reason! Do you recognise yourself in some of these prayers? What can you learn from them?
Dear God, please put another holiday between Christmas and
Easter. There is nothing good in there now.
Amanda
Dear God, Thank you for the baby brother but what I asked
for was a puppy. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.
Joyce
Dear Mr. God, I wish you would not make it so easy for people
to come apart - I had to have 3 stitches and an injection.
Janet
God, I read the bible. What does beget mean? Nobody will tell
me.
Love Alison
Dear God, How did you know you were God? Who told you?
Charlene
Dear God, Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses
his golf words in the house?
Anita
Dear God, I bet it's very hard for you to love all of everybody
in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never
do it.
Nancy
Dear God, I like the story about Noah the best of all of them.
You really made up some good ones. I like walking on water, too.
Glenn
Dear God, my Grandpa says you were around when he was a little
boy. How far back do you go?
Love, Dennis
Dear God, do you draw the lines around the countries? If you
don't, who does?
Nathan
Dear God, did you mean for giraffes to look like that or was
it an accident?
Norma
Dear God, in bible times, did they really talk that fancy?
Jennifer
Dear God, how come you did all those miracles in the old days
and don't do any now?
Billy
Dear God, please send Dennis Clark to a different summer camp
this year.
Peter
Dear God, maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so
much if they each had their own rooms. It works out OK with me and my brother.
Larry
Dear God, if you watch in Church on Sunday I will show you
my new shoes.
Barbara
Dear God, I do not think anybody could be a better God than
you. Well, I just want you to know that. I am not just saying that because
you are already God.
Charles
Dear God, I am doing the best I can. Really!!!!
Frank
And, saving the best for last …
Dear God, I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you
made on Tuesday night. That was really cool.
Thomas
(How much must God have smiled at that?!)
