God Answers.
Me: I feel so ugly, fat, and worthless..
God: You're beautiful, the perfect size, and you mean everything to me.
Me: I'm just so worried, and I can't sleep.. I'm exhausted.
God: Give me all your problems, and I will give you rest.
Me: I'm dirty, rotten, and I'll never be able to fix my mistakes.

Me: I can't do this anymore! My heart is broken.. I give up.
God: Hand me every piece of your heart, and I promise I will fix it.
