This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,
I decided to count the occurrences of the word God so far in this book and I got 41 times. I looked at the time and it was 414pm. 414 is a palindromic number and can be read the same forward and backward. What came to my mind? 4 steps forward and 1 step backwards. Sometimes we need to go backwards to come forwards. Sometimes we need to unlearn and learn again. We even use the term relearning.
God, let me unlearn the things that do not serve me. Let me learn the things that will serve me. Let me see the beauty in learning new things and different things. Let me keep an open mind that is free from bias and stubbornness. Let me appreciate what You are trying to teach me. Let me embrace what others are teaching me. Let me see the lessons in different situations.
I hope these letters to You result in spiritual and personal growth. Help me to discern when to push forward, when to pause and reflect, and when to revisit past experiences to glean new understanding. I aim to learn as much as possible in my journey to become a better person in Your sight. I read that I should be discarding outdated, limiting beliefs or behaviors to embrace a renewed perspective and transformation. God, You are the greatest teacher and I look to You for guidance.
