Children's Letters to God
(these are real letters)

Dear GOD,
In school they told us what You do.
Who does it when You are on vacation?
-Jane



Dear GOD,
I read the Bible.
What does 'begat' mean?
Nobody will tell me.
Love,
Alison



Dear GOD,
Are you really invisible
or is that just a trick?
-Lucy



Dear GOD,
Is it true dad 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,
Instead of letting people die
and having to make new ones,
why don't You just keep
the ones You have now?
-Jane



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,
Why is Sunday school on Sunday?
I thought it was supposed to be
our day of rest.
-Tom L.



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,
If You give me a genie lamp like Aladin,
I will give you anything you want,
except my money or my chess set.
-Raphael



Dear GOD,
My brother is a rat.
You should give him a tail. Ha ha.
-Danny



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



Dear GOD,
You don't have to worry about me.
I always look both ways.
Dean



Dear GOD,
I think the stapler is one
of your greatest inventions.
-Ruth M.



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



Dear GOD,
I 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,
Of all the people who work for You
I like Noah and David the best.
-Rob



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,
If You watch me in church Sunday,
I'll show You my new shoes.
Mickey D.



Dear GOD,
I would like to live 900 years
like the guy in the Bible.
Love, Chris



Dear GOD,
We read Thomas Edison made light.
But in Sunday school
they said You did it.
So I bet he stoled your idea.
Sincerely, Donna



Dear GOD:
The bad people laughed at Noah -
"You made an ark on dry land you fool."
But he was smart, he stuck with You.
That's what I would do.
Eddie



Dear GOD,
I do not think anybody
could be a better GOD.
Well, I just want You to know
but I am not just saying that
because You are GOD already.
-Charles



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