The Nooby Book Writer

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 pray for the world. I pray for humanity. I pray for mankind. I pray together with anyone who is praying to You right now. I pray with all those seeking a miracle right now. I pray for all those with a cause. Because I know than You can help. Because Your power is bigger than the biggest problems. Because Your help is only a prayer away. Because You can put the right persons in the right places to make a difference. Every cause has an effect. Every action has a reaction. We seek Your reaction for our prayers. I pause and I look at the sky. I ask myself why, like I have done several times before. Why the bad? Why the sad? Can we not be glad al...

The birds are chirping from tree to tree. They are looking for their daily meal I suppose, despite the conditions. I am resting in a corner writing to You. There is nothing special I want to write. It is Sunday. Life needs the rain to grow. I am thinking that growth sounds like a contraction of "God wrote". I am thinking that God wrote our life stories. Each story, a tree rooted in Your love with branches that reach for the sky. This is God's will for us. Make me grow into someone that is pleasing to You. A gentle soul that is full of love. Someone who is full of hope. Someone who is good. Som...

I drank a cup of water and I sit in the quiet of the night writing to You. I had a dream and part of that dream was me telling how I had found God and how that helped me. What does it mean to find You? I think it means You were missing, You were missing from my life even though You were always there all the steps of the way. And just like that it started raining at 223am for a brief moment. I can hear the raindrops on my galvanise roof. I was lost and I found You. It was not an overnight mission for me neither is it a task that is complete. It took several years and small and gradual steps to reach this point where I can say that ...

I am thinking about my soles and my soul and how they sou-nd the same and how they are related. Keep my soles and my soul connected and on the right path. Keep me grounded. Keep my steps in harmony with my higher purpose. Let my soles move forward on a path that aligns with my soul. My soles connect to the earth and my soul connects to You. I know that each step I take carries weight - physically, mentally, spiritually. Sometimes, I wonder if I am walking with who I truly am or if I am being swept by the noise of this world. Guide me, God, so that each footstep leaves a mark of purpose. My soul purpose is to lo...

I have 36% battery left on my phone. The place is beautifully quiet. Words do not come easily right now. I needed a prompt. I went to the internet and grabbed a random word from a random word generator. I got the word "pace". This word looks like peace if I add an e. Maybe e is for everything and peace is the natural pace of everything. The way it is supposed to be. These days life in general moves at a fast pace and we sometimes describe it as the rat race. This has me thinking. What is the pace of peace? I learnt that pace is the ablative singular of the Latin word "pax" which means ...

Ramadan has come and now gone. God willing, we are here next year to benefit from another Ramadan and Eid. There is joy mixed with sadness. The new moon has been sighted for the next month of Shawwal. I read that Shawwal signifies new life and renewal after a month of spiritual cleansing. I came across the Arabic words islah (reform) and tajdid (renewal) in trying to learn more. I like how Shawwal and renewal both end in -wal. Reminds me of another Arabic word I have come across before, which is wallahi which is to swear by God. I also came across the word "newification" and I smiled and my eyes op...

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 Yo...
