Dearest Father,

I recently moved far away from home for graduate school. This new change is not uncommon for me, but neither is it always easy in the beginning either. I am struggling a bit with adjusting in a very big city, for I know no one here. At times I do feel a bit lonely and vulnerable. My mom recently told me she has been having post surgery pains as well. I pray her checkup goes well.

I pray that through 2 years of being away from home, while trying to pursue something you called me to do, everything will be ok. Please take care of my parents and sister. Please let me finish school well so that I'm able to serve you and the vulnerable. I want to make my parents happy, and feel reassured that I'll be able to have a stable career and family of my own eventually. Until then, I cast my loneliness, fears and worries up to you.

Sincerely,

Your child
