This is a prayer that I wrote to sound sarcastic until the last line. The long period of sarcasm represents my anger towards God for my sufferings and it wasn’t until recently that I realized they were a blessing which is shown by the last line.
Dearest God,
Thank you for every lovely blessing you’ve bestowed upon me. It is more than one would ever dare to hope for. Thank you for all the times I have been broken. Thank you for making me neither attractive nor thin. Thank you for the years of darkness, of fire, of searing pain. Thank you for those razors that pierced my tender skin. Thank you for the scarf tied tight around my neck and the stool under my feet. Thank you for the burns scattered among my remains. But most of all Lord thank you for my death and resurrection. Without all these blessings I would have no reason to cling with all my strength to you, forever I will thank you.
Love Always,
Your grateful child
