Dear God,

The voices in my head are getting louder. LOUDER! I don't know how long I can resist. The pounding in my brain is relentless. The temptation is nearly unbearable. I try to be good. God knows I try! But I am feeble. I am weak. I am so very tired. Satan is slowly, casually whittling away at my will. Some days it seems easier to just give in rather than muster the strength to fight back.I am not a smart man. I am not a brave man. The prospect of combating Satan Scares me. I feel him invading my heart and mind but I am powerless to oppose him. I am not a holy man. I am not a godly man. I do not attend church. I am a sinner. I am a blasphemer. I have never read the word of God. I have seen bibles but only at a distance. Never have I actually held one in my grasp and gazed upon the word of God first hand. I desperately want this to change but I have a problem. I am a reclusive man. I am a solitary man. I have difficulty interacting with people face to face. This may sound abnormal or unusual but I am trying to overcome my phobia. If you can find it in your heart to provide me with my first bible I am sure I will be able to gather the courage to change my life for the better. You are my last hope. My request is immense. I realize that. I'll understand if you refuse.
