Dana has written several “letters to God” – you can see them here.

Dear God,

Lord, first and foremost I want to thank You for this day.  Lord, the last few days have been a little trialsome, but I’ve learned to appreciate the hardships regardless of how painful, due to the knowledge of Your wondrous Word that You continue to bless me with.  For I’ve learned that as long as I continue to have faith in You O Lord, that You will answer my prayers and never give me more than I can carry.  As it tells me in Matthew 24:13, “But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved.”  So praise God that I continue to grow strong in faith and spirituality with each passing day.

This is Dana’s sixth “Letter to God”.  What a privilege to read these intimate letters to God.  I am blessed that she is willing to share these with me, and allow them to be on the blog.  Here is her first letter, second letter, third letter, fourth letter, and fifth letter.

12/4/14

Dear God,

I thank You for this day, even though we both know that its been a very tiresome and trying day for me so far.  But I’m determined to stay confident that today will end with everything You want it to be for me, for I will “cast all my anxiety upon Him because He cares for me” (1 Peter 5:7).  I know Lord that these hard days are necessary and there are plenty more in my future, because I’m aware that this change I am making, this spiritual journey in which I embark, is a process.  Continue reading →

Do you know any older people that are consumed with bitterness and self-pity?  Stop and look at how it has damaged their life, their relationships, their joy, their peace and their happiness.  Take a hard look at the consequences.  It is NOT worth it.

It takes a lot of emotional and mental energy to keep a wound open and feed a grudge.  Anger and self-pity are a poison to our heart, spirit and soul that will eventually consume us.  Unforgiveness gives bitterness a chance to take hold, and makes us a slave to the person we refuse to forgive.  They occupy a room in our mind and consume our thoughts.  They steal our energy, our joy and our peace.

Forgiveness is ultimately a SPIRITUAL BATTLE.

Poetry, Spiritual Warfare

This beautiful poem was written by one of “My Girls” earlier this year.

My Spiritual Warfare by Christina M.

Dona Ana County Detention Center, March 2014

I look up to the sky… my head to the north
This battle, it wages within me,
Pulling me back and forth
Up and down like a rollercoaster ride
I’m constantly searching for a safe place to hide
