Dearest Father,

It is me. Father, 5 years ago I have loved a person deeply and truly. I cared so much to the point where I would be willing to do anything to see him be happy and not be alone. I tried so hard to make it work, even when he cheated on me, I forgave him. I believed then that if I forgave and kept trying, things will be ok. Yet, he left me in the end and I had to force myself to let go.

Since then, my heart has been very closed. I could not really open myself up to any guys, I could not let anyone in without fearing that if I open up too much, I'll get hurt and abandoned. I did not want to re-experience the pain. I've recently met a very nice person who is so caring and sincerely wants me to be happy. I feel scared, Father. how could I trust that this person won't hurt me? I opened up more to this friend than I've ever done with any guy. Yet, I feel like a part of me will always be scared and skeptical that he will just end up abandoning me like my first relationship and the others too. :(

Father, I ask for your comfort and peace at this certain time for I have to do so many things for you in this life. I honestly only ask to have a friend, partner who could be with me on this journey. Someone who could free me from this fear and reassure me that I could trust again.

Sincerely,

Your daughter
