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,
This will be 25 chapters already. It is so easy when I write to You. So easy when I write from the heart. I notice that the word our is in the word journey. This is our journey. We are never alone on our journey. You are always there with us. Through the good and the bad. Give thanks. 273 days ago I tweeted "God keep me humble on this journey". You did not give up on me and I did not not give up on You. I keep calling on You to guide me, protect me and have mercy on me.
I searched for the 273rd word of this book and it was the word shine from the sentence, "Please shine Your light and mercy and goodness on my world and the world we live in." Some time has passed and it is night time now. I bathe and I prayed. I was checking my notifications and the Quranly app told me that I had read 273 verses this week. What a coincidence.
I have reached exactly at the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf in my reading. I read the English translation. I read that Surah Al-Kahf is recommended to be recited on Fridays, with the belief that reciting it will cause a light to shine for the person from one Friday to the next. Tomorrow is Friday and begins tonight and what a coincidence that there is that word shine and light again. All I could do is smile at these coincidences. What can I take away from this moment? Seek light and light will find you.
