Kids' Letters to God


This year
All years
Dear GOD,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new
ones, why don't You just keep the ones You have?
-Jane

Dear GOD,
Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much
if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother.
-Larry

Dear GOD,
If You watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show You my
new shoes.
-Mickey

Dear GOD,
Bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody
in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our
family and I can never do it.
-Nan

Dear GOD,
I read the Bible. What does "beget" mean? Nobody will
tell me.
-Love, Alison

Dear GOD,
Are You really invisible or is it just a trick?
-Lucy

Dear GOD,
Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses
his bowling words in the house?
-Anita

Dear GOD,
Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was
it an accident?
-Norma

Dear GOD,
Who draws the lines around the countries?
-Nan

Dear GOD,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right
in church. Is that okay?
-Neil

Dear GOD,
What does it mean You are a Jealous God? I
thought You had everything.
-Jane

Dear GOD,
Did You really mean "do unto others as they do unto
you"? Because if You did, then I'm going to fix my
brother.
-Darla

Dear GOD,
Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for
was a puppy.
-Joyce

Dear GOD,
It rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad!
He said some things about You that people are not
supposed to say, but I hope You will not hurt him
anyway.
-Your friend, (But I am not
going to tell You who I am)

Dear GOD,
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything
before. You can look it up.
-Bruce


Dear GOD,
If we come back as something - Please don't let me be
Jennifer Horton because I hate her.
-Denise

Dear GOD,
I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big but not
with so much hair all over.
-Sam

Dear GOD,
I think about You sometimes even when I'm not praying.
-Elliott

Dear GOD,
My brother told me about being born but it doesn't
sound right. They're just kidding, aren't they?
-Marsha

Dear GOD,
I didn't think orange went with purple until I
saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool.
