God,
I know You understand the direction of every heart
far better than the one who carries it.
I never truly understood
how someone could feel so close,
even when we were raised under different skies,
with prayers that may not sound the same.
And yet,
somehow,
within all those differences,
I found something that felt like… home.
I do not ask You to change him by force,
nor do I beg for him to rush
toward what I believe in.
I only ask for one simple thing—
if there is a light
You have ever placed within me,
if there is any goodness that comes from You
that he has once seen, even for a moment,
let that be enough
to make him wonder.
Let that be enough
to make him seek.
And if one day
he finds something
that brings peace to his heart…
let it come from You,
not from me.
Because I know—
what comes from humans can be questioned,
but what comes from You
never loses its way.
