Dana has written several “letters to God” – you can see them here.
Dear God,
Thank you for this day and every other day You have been gracious enough to give me. Thank You for getting me through this difficult season of missing my family and children. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who comforts us in all our affliction.” (2 Corinthians 3:4)
Lord, lately I’m confused as to who I am, who I’m supposed to be and who I want to be. Am I the addicted criminal deemed a danger to society, or the lost daughter, sister, mother and friend from a day so long ago I can’t remember? Am I inmate number xx-xxxxx facing a total of 43 years, turned Christian, who is trying to survive this cold place or am I a combination of all three; just looking for answers and trying to have faith that God will make sense of it all? Lately I feel not only disconnected from You my God, but also from myself.
