Community Connection ~ April 6, 2025: Write a Letter to God

Letter-writing isn’t just an increasingly-rare way to connect with others; it’s also sometimes recommended as a way to work through your own feelings. If you’re upset with someone, you might be told, write a letter to them that describes how you feel, and don’t send it! Well, as long as you’ve got the paper out, why not write a letter to God?

Letter-writing is a great way to deepen your prayer life during the Lenten season (and beyond, if it suits you). The “supplies” are limited - you just need something to write with and something to write on - and the format is flexible. After all, just as there’s no right or wrong way to pray, there’s no right or wrong way to write to God either. There aren’t any rules about what to write about or what words to use. Whether you have gratitude to express, or concerns to articulate, or something else entirely, just write it down. The best part is that as soon as your letter has been written, it’s also been sent.

Your letter to God is just for you, but if you’ve got anything you’d like to write to us, we invite you to engage with Desert Mission on Facebook or Instagram!
