*My Turn Next Please*

When will it be my turn? I’m not being ungrateful or anything. In fact, the whole reason that I’m able to type this is thanks to the kindness and forgiveness that You have shown to me.

I am thankful that I’m still alive and healthy. Thankful that I still have all that is required to be a servant to You on this earth. I do my best to do the things that are required by You and try to avoid the things that would incur Your wrath.

I understand that You understand and know everything that has, is and will happen in the future. My belief in You although steadfast can be on shaky ground at times and I know that is such a sin. I hope that as the Most Forgiving You would understand that I am human with faults and weaknesses.

I can’t help but wonder why the lesser of your servants seem to be accorded with such good things when others who devote their life and energy to You aren’t so lucky. Again, let me be the first to apologize for having such thoughts but I can’t help it.

I pray everyday and every time I do I ask that You do not test your humble servant with anything that I can’t handle and that my sins would be forgiven. That Abah’s grave would be wide and bright and that Mama’s life will be long, happy and healthy. That my wife will be happy and my family be safe.

You would know what is in my heart without me having to tell it and I can only hope that it will be granted. I dare not say that it is just reward for my loyalty to You as I; as a humble and weak being owe nothing to You.
