Letters To God

By JASON KEYSER / Associated Press Writer

From around the world, thousands of letters end up at the Western Wall, seeking answers to prayer

JERUSALEM — Ever felt your prayers went unanswered? Try sending a letter to God and chances are it will end up — as many do each year — at an Israeli post office in Jerusalem, where they are read and sent on to the holy Western Wall.

The letters come from all over the world in a host of languages. The elderly ask for good health. Others seek heavenly remedies for debts, relationship assistance, or help finding jobs. Children mainly ask God to spring them from homework assignments. The trickle of requests turns into a flood around Christmas and the Jewish holidays.

I think this is kind of cool. I've never mailed a letter to God. But, if I had known about this when I was younger, I probably would have done it.

I write letters to God I have for years. I keep them in this pretty notebook i have. But I'd never mail them... its for God's eyes only.
