Dear God
If today I lose my hope
Remind me
That your plans are better
Than my dream

Here us another one

I'm stronger because I had to be
I'm smarter because of my mistakes
Happier because of the sadness I've known
And now wiser because I learned

Here's one that I like

Dear God,

Why is it that the only way you want us to learn things is by misery and suffering.
Why can't we better ourselves through happy things or experiences.

Just wondering. Sorry

How often, with regret,
I reflect on what could have been, Lord.
If only I had known what you had predestined for me before I gave it away,
ignored its potential, and misjudged its value to enjoy temporary satisfaction.
First anger, then rage, consumed me.
Jealousy poisoned my blood. I ache over my losses.
I have spent too many sleepless nights mulling over missed opportunity.
Forgive me God for being shortsighted, for despising the gifts that you tried to give me.
Let today mark a new beginning.
Turn my focus away from the pain of regret to the promise of hope. Amen
