Dear God
by Jennifer Harman, Age 19
Send this page to a friend
Dear God,
I cry out, oh God, for peace. Let not my heart be troubled. All around, the world is falling apart. Forgive me for looking at circumstances in fear. Please take these burdens away. Help me to learn what it means to cast all my cares upon you. Help me to know what it means to truly let go. Be not far off and please hear my cry. Help me not to feel alone. I know you are always with me. Comfort me, oh Lord. Let me learn what it means to fully trust in You. I know You are bigger than all my fears. You who created all things can surely help me.
I hear You whisper, "Peace, be still." You help me surrender my fears to the cross. I lay them at your feet. Thank You for taking them away. Thank You for comforting your child.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Harman, Age 19
(Editor's Note: Jennifer's story is featured in my book, "Real Teens, Real Stories, Real Life". Just after Jennifer's high school graduation, she dove into a lake and hit the bottom at three feet deep and broke her neck. Jennifer shares her honest struggles in her life and faith. "Dear God" is Jennifer's journey. It is honest. It shares her doubts, her fears, and the days when God is so real that she is in awe. She invites you to join her as she explores her growing faith. No answers, no preaching, but simple words from the heart of a college student who loves God.)
