Author Note: This is an open letter I wrote to God when diagnosed with cancer. It's raw, it's vulnerable, it's my heart served up for everyone to see. I know you've probably felt like this at some stage to....I get it. If you like what you read, please feel free to go and download my my new e-book "PURPOSE DRIVEN", which is where this letter is featured. |
Dear God
I have a question I want to ask you. It’s a big one, and just the thought of it makes me feel unworthy.
Nobody likes talking about miracles these days – I think we’re all just a little scared that the God we read about in the bible is finished doing miracles on our behalf. After all, when did we last see someone walk on water, or being raised from the dead?
Then there’s the ones who don’t believe in you at all, but are secretly watching and waiting for evidence of your goodness. “Miracles? What miracles!!?” their hurting hearts scoff.
And yet, I see miracles every day. ‘You in Me’ is a modern day miracle after all.
So the question is not “Can you do miracles Lord?” The question is “Will you?”
What is it that will move your hand on our behalf? And do we dare to think, hope and speak our need out loud – not just for your ears but for the world to hear as well. Not to prove that miracles exist because you just have to look at my life story to know that is true. But to dare to open my mouth and let those impossible words whisper, and my faith roar louder than the ocean of doubt that surrounds me.
So here goes...
“God won’t you do a miracle for me?”
Not just for me…but for those in my world and beyond.
That they may see and know that you are everything they dare to dream about. That you are worth them opening up the door to their hearts, even if its just enough to let you slip in. That You are worth their thoughts, their desire, their love…as difficult a thought as that may be for some. That even in the darkest times, you are right there – an eternal light that destroys fear and warms the deepest recesses of our hurting hearts.
Only you can do these things God. Only You.
If I could just help introduce this truth to those who need it. If I could be so bold to ask. My heart cries knowing words only go so far God!
“So won’t you do this miracle for me?” Not just for me, but for the world.
I will shout it from the rooftops. I will declare your reality and glory to anyone who will listen. You know I will. You know me.
I trust your will for my life – I gave it all over to you a long time ago and I will leave this world a happy, content and fulfilled woman whatever you end up deciding. That right there is the gift of peace one gets when they give their life to You.
But if all I had to do was ask…then here I go again;
“Lord God, won’t you do this miracle for me?”
You know what will happen if you do this miracle for me – yes?
But do you know what will happen if you don’t?
Let me tell you.
I will still shout your name from the rooftop and declare your goodness over all who speak with me.
I will walk through this valley with my eyes fixed firmly on you.
I will speak of your goodness and tell the world how you saved me – too many times to count.
That cancer may inhabit my body, but you have my life.
I will glorify you always because you are my God, my rock and my salvation. And yes my healer. Thank you Jesus.
You have me forever – regardless of whether or not you do this miracle for me.
“O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
Because Your will is more important to me than anything, including this question I must ask of you.
Always and forever - yes or no.
I am Yours.
Love Me xx

I wrote this letter to God just over a year ago and as you can probably imagine, a lot has happened since then. The journey has been one of the most challenging in my life but I have learnt so much, and experienced not just one, but SO MANY miracles along the way.
I have it on my heart to encourage and share with as many people as possible, the painstaking insights I've gained over the last year which I genuinely believe will help you on your own journey - whatever that journey may be. We all go through difficult times, and I don't know about you but I appreciate it when people share what worked and what didn't for them...whatever helps right? Which is why if your reading this blog - I want to offer my new e-book "Purpose Driven" to you for half the publicly listed price. It's only $3.97 for you right now, which is nothing really, compared to what I believe it will do to help you. But I want to say right now (and only here) that if that $3.97 isn't in your budget, then please email me HERE and I will send you a copy for free. That's how much I believe this book will help you, and how much I want it to help you. Blessings abounding x
