If you could write a letter to God, what would it say? 

If Immaculée Ilibagiza’s story has not impressed you enough at this point, wait until you hear this.  After finishing her manuscript, she met the man who would help publish it, just three days after writing a letter to God.  Talk about ask and you shall receive!    

Dear Lord,

Thanks for helping me finish the manuscript.  I hope it’s what You had in mind.  But now that it’s done, You have to find someone to print it and then put it in the window display at Barnes & Noble.  This is really Your story more than mine, and I’m looking forward to reading it once You have made it into a book. 

Thank You again God.

Your loving daughter,

Immaculée

I must say I love her directness.  I mean God is a busy man so we should be respectful of his time. 

So, let’s deconstruct this letter into three parts. 

  1. Gratitude
  2. Specific ask
  3. Visualization of fruition

I for one am going to try this.  I mean we remember more of what we write, so maybe we pray better in written form as well?  I have been told I make a great pen pal, so bring out the stationary! 

As for now, my letter will remain confidential with God, but I promise to post it as soon as I have the number one Catholic blog in the country!
