A Letter to the Heavens

Dear God,
       I am so conflicted.  I have two wants, two desires that lie on opposite ends of the spectrum from each other.  I think I know which one I want more and definitely which one is more sane.
       I want to be admitted… to the hospital.  I do not feel good and that is the biggest reason, but the hospital is like a vacation to me.  The physical tasks that take me hours to do at home are taken care of and the land of medicine has all the equipment that could ever be needed.  It makes me feel safe.  But being admitted, and going to the ER, and the situation at hand is putting my parents through hell.  I hate keeping my parents up at night, worrying them, and causing them anxiety.  I love my parents so much!
       I pray that You untangle my mind and steer me in the right direction.  I pray that Your will be done.

       We are all stressed, anxious, and worried.  I pray that You take the weight of the stress and the anxiety off of our shoulders.  Help us breathe.  Replace these chest tightening feelings with love, peace, and joy.  Courage and strength.  I pray that my family and I trust fully and completely in You.

       You are stretching my family and I like a rubber band.  Seeing how far we can go and I pray that we snap back into place.  With You, God, and our lovely support system of a family --friends included -- I am sure we will snap back to where we started and jump over this hurtle.
       I am conflicted, but I pray for guidance and the untangling of my mind.  I pray for the weight to be taken off of our shoulders and the breath to be easier to inhale.  I pray for Your will to be done and Your love to be felt.
       Thank You for my friends and family!  Thank You for another day!
In Jesus' name,
Amen
