Dear God,

Please give me clarity and discernment because we both know I'm standing in one of those traffic roundabout things and I feel kind of alone. I want to WANT to be happy and then know that I AM happy. I wish for greater faith and capacity for forgiveness, the ability to let go-- would You please take care of the man/men who broke my heart, but most especially the one in Afghanistan, and help heal his family and his soul, please be with him while I can't so he doesn't feel abandoned. Please help me get over my fear of father-daughter relationships and a woman becoming nothing when she becomes a mother. and if You're not super busy, it'd be swell if I could get back to 117 pounds, snag a literary agent and lucrative book deal, calm the heck down, and heal my foot/body, because it's really hard to teach a fitness class with it the way it is right now. In case I haven't told You lately, Thanks, because even though there always seems to be something else I wish to ask for, I know enough to know I'm blessed. Oh, one last teeny thing: could you please send me my perfect partner/soul mate before I turn 28 or else remove my desire to love and be loved (in a romantic capacity). I love You!
