Dear God,

I have some inner conflict I am going through at the moment, and I feel very alone at times despite how I might portray myself to be on the outside. I just pray that I will be able to do what I need to do while I'm abroad right now. As hard as it is to have an unrequited love, especially around age 24. I know I cannot continue to pursue someone who doesn't want to pursue anything more than friends. For the past failed relationships, I always blamed myself for the problem, and always thought that if I keep trying it would eventually work out. Yet, sometimes when one is only trying too hard by themselves, it will still not work out either. Therefore, this time, I pray that I will be strong, and rely on your love, and not try too hard to seek for what I THINK is right for me. It will be a difficult struggle when I see the person, but I will strain away in order to abide to your will. Please help me father have this inner acceptance and peace to suffice the struggle.

Sincerely,

Your child
