Dear God

Some people claim they know just how to reach you

The best way to pray

Some say on your knees

Some say with your hands in the air

I will try either way

Or both

If you will just listen

Because I have a question

I have just got to ask you

Would it be ok

If I was your daughter

Instead of your son?

I promise to dress extra pretty for church

And I will give my boyclothes to charity

I don’t want to offend you

I just need to know

Do I go forward?

Or have I gone too far?

Some people think I am just playing

But you know better, right?

It’s a serious question

I want you to love me

I don’t want to go to hell

And I know you are busy

But I would like to know

Will you pick me up in your arms

And be my Daddy forever?

I will be a good girl, God

I promise

Because right now I am crying

Because this hurts so much

So please

Wont you send some love to me?

So I know you still want me?

I will try and wait for an answer God

But sooner would be better

Because I don’t know how much more I can take

before its too much

So please send an angel

Because I am still your child

Amen

Such a precious verse... and another for you, dear heart...

...Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it.


 
Your prayer is lived out by so many here. Thank you for putting words to our questions and sadness and conflict. And your verse brings me hope as well, dear sweet sister.

She was born for all the wrong reasons but grew up for all the right ones.
Dio benedica la mia bella amici, Andrea

Damn Girl...

Just really touches the heart. Best poetry I've read in a long time. Depth here, real depth. Thanks for this.

Dorothy, your precious

Dorothy, your precious prayer is wonderful and I thank you for it. I am sure that God is pleased that you wrote it to Him, I do pray that it will be answered for you and others. By the way, I love your middle name "Colleen", as it is my oldest daughter's name also. Hugs, Jan

Dear God

Will simply answer : "MY CHILS! MY CHILD! I LOVE YOU! BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE! THE SHELL MATTERS NOT, LET YOOR SOUL AND SHELL MATCH!"

The trouble is...

...it's not really a prayer any of us can answer for each other. There are plenty of voices willing to speak for God,
with others just as dead certain saying: GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES! HE GAVE YOU THIS SHELL, DEAL WITH IT!
YOUR TRANSGENDERED FEELING ARE TWISTED AND SINFUL!!! And others saying: LEAVE OFF YOUR PRIMATIVE
FANTASIES AND EMBRACE THE ONE TRUE BELIEF OF ATHIESM! I tend to agree with you Stanman,
but I also believe that the essence of humility is in admitting our fears & doubts,
in seeking answers through prayer rather than from pundit A, B or C...

Anyway it's a beautiful poem. Powerful, self-honest, moving. It belongs in that big hardback TG anthology
(the one with Heather Rose's SHOES in it...) that is my crazy dream. The Best of BigCloset.
~~hugs Dorothy, and thank you! Laika

Crying of a Memory

this pray brought up prayers that I have long forgotten I use to pray like that every day till i turn 25yr. That is a lovely pray that i had too sit alone cry for while before I was aboul to get my self together again to go back to work. Thank you very much for re-awaking these prayers in my heart even thou it seem like no listening it is still good too say them and too hear them. Some time saying them help too ease the pain.
Keep up the Great work here.

God hears the cries of your

God hears the cries of your heart, and I cannot contain what He wants you (all of you) to know:

"My Dear Child, I have always heard what you have said and asked in your heart.
Know this my child (and all my children) that I LOVE YOU. I have sent you messages time and again.
In my written word have I not said: For God so loved the world (that's all human kind, without exception) that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever (without exception) believes in Him (His message and purpose for coming into the world) will not perish, but have everlasting life.

I have made you the way you are in order to test others. Many who are 'religious' will cling to what they have been taught and continue to ignore me. They cling to their religion, but MY children are commanded to love one another, without exception. By this love the rest of humanity will see ME and know that I exist and care for My children. So many have failed this and continue in blindness, rejecting ME again and again. But there are some who get it, and understand. They are the ones who accept you, and all your brothers and sisters like you, for who I made you to be.

Your trials in this life are greater than many others, and because of that your rewards will be greater when you return home to be in My presence forever. Remember that I am with you always, I will never leave you nor forsake you. You will not always be aware of my presence, but that is where faith comes in. Trust me, that I have made you exactly as I want you.
Lovingly,
Your true Father, Mother (Holy Spirit), and Eldest Brother (God made flesh)"

thank you, Erin

huggles, and bless you

It's a lovely prayer.

But sadly, being a 'dyed-in-the-wool' atheist, I cannot comment much further. I wish you every success in your searches and request.
Love and hugs and good luck,
xxx Beverly. (Not dressed for church.)
