A servant's prayer

I've been trying to reach you for several days.

I'm stressed and I need your help.

I'm not like your servant Job.

I don't have his patience.

I'm a woman and a worrier.

How can I not worry, God, when problems loom all around?

How can I find peace of mind when my life is in turmoil?

Are you there, God?

The money isn't stretching far enough.

Did you know it's getting tough down here?

Well, of course, you know.

You know everything.

That's why I'm calling on you.

I need you today.

My children need you too.

Will you comfort them, God, and

Let them know everything will be okay?

I don't mind telling you, God, that life is a tough job.

We are in the Great Recession.

It's not like being in Heaven.

There aren't any streets of gold.

There are a few angels.

I met one of them when I really needed a friend.

Could you send another one my way?

Sometimes, God, I get so weary.

Everything seems so dark.

Then you send a ray of light and I feel better.

Are you there, God?

I really need to talk to you today.

I need you to hold my hand.

I'm having a bad time.

I know you care.

You said you wouldn't forsake me.

You said you wouldn't leave me.

Where are you?

You might as well answer me, God.

I'm not going away.

Hey, my phone is ringing.

Is that you, God?

Thank you, God.

I feel better already.

I knew you'd answer.

You always do.
