Dear God

I know you promised me that You will use me. I remember You saying something about having plans for me and my hopeful future or something like that. But I just wanted to let you know, I don't think I can.

Can what?

Can do any of this. You see, I get angry at my husband and forget to pray for my friends. I don't care enough about the lost and I never have enough time to read. I just think... maybe I ruined everything. What about that time with so-and-so that I didn't tell them about Your truth -- and I could have? And how about the Christians? They take one look at me and think I'm inept! No, Lord... I think I'm pretty much hopeless.

I see. 

You do? ... Somehow that makes it worse. What do You see?

I see you thinking you know more than Me. 

No, no, Lord. You've got it all wrong. You know much more than me, but I'm just saying the I don't think I'm cut out for this. See, people who make a difference for eternity actually have time to read their Bibles.

Oh, I see. 

What?

I see you thinking you know more than Me. 

No, Lord.... listen....

No, child, you listen:

I am God.
Also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; 

I work, and who can turn it back?

 I am the first and I am the last;

besides me there is no god.

Who is like me? Let him proclaim it. 

Let him declare and set it before me,

Fear not, nor be afraid;
   have I not told you from of old and declared it?

And you are my witnesses! 

Is there a God besides me?
   There is no Rock; I know not any.

...


Oh.
I see.
