“Begin with stillness. Breathe deeply. Ask yourself this prayerful question, ‘God, what do you love about me?’
“Sit quietly with the question and don’t begin writing right away. Allow space for heartfelt words to naturally rise up within you.
“When you are ready, being your letter with the simple words, ‘Dear [your name].’
“Let your imagination guide you. Listen for God’s voice — tender, kind, and full of love for you. Resist the inner critic that wants to name your faults. This letter comes from God, not from the critic. Dare to believe the words of love that may unexpectedly flow when given the space to do so.
“Conclude your letter with the words, ‘Love, God.’”
