This is a great prayer, Earl! I love the humble and grateful attitude in your words. I also like the honesty, too. I think talking to God should always include thankfulness before asking and we agree with you about asking the Lord to help Ukraine. Congratulations on your second place win!

Hi Earl,
This is a wonderful letter to God that shows your faith and the reasons for it. You surely have been through a lot. I am glad you are healthy and writing. It's seldom that people can say they love their jobs but to have two you love is a gift.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Joan

This is a well-written letter to God, Earl. :) I'm sure he listens to everyone that writes and asks Him to help another that needs help. I'm glad He is reading and correcting what I write. I have too many typos. :) This is a good entry to the Dear God Contest. Thank you for sharing.

Good luck wishes regarding the contest entry, Earl. This was special because you acknowledge that 'God' got you through your terrible times. I loved the picture when you wrote 'Dear God' with the pen. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessings!

Earl, I think you have a good entry for this contest. I am not sure what they might be looking for, either. But it is never a mistake to write a story from the heart, and you have done it expertly. Excellent. Terry.

You certainly have been watched over by God, Earl, bringing you through those serious health issues. And, well done on walking those 54 x 5k races! That is incredible! I like that you have included everyone in your letter, and the war in Ukraine. There is so much wrong down here on God's earth, that needs to be changed. Nice letter, my friend. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Nicely written. Good work.
I don't think there is a right answer to your question (of what they are looking for).
Good luck in the contest.
