My Petition

I am currently reading "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. In the book the author states that during a time of great uncertainty, anxiety and turmoil in her life she wrote a petition. A petition to God asking him to bring some certainty into her life and let the war between her (soon-to be ex) husband and herself end. This passage got me thinking about the uncertainty and anxiety i feel in my life. I would love for the games and confusion that have and do take place between Rob and myself to end - perhaps I should right a petition of my own. It goes something like this:

Dear God:
While I am aware that you are a busy individual, with far more important things to worry about than a 20 year old girl going through a break-up I believe it wold be in the best interest of universe to end the on going confusion of this situation.
If I am supposed to be with this man please send me some notification of this, preferably in the form of words coming out of his mouth. Mixed messages and vague questions are not cutting it anymore. I need solid evidence that I should either give it another try or move on with my life.
If I am not supposed to be with him please give me the clarity of self to realize this and the strength to stand alone. Which ever way my path leads please have it end in happiness.
This lack of clarity is impuning on my happiness and as a member of the Universe, i believe that my happiness is important to the stability and well being of the Universe as a whole. If you would be able to find the time to grant my request, there would be one less unhappy person in the Universe and therefore one less person for you to worry about.

Thank You for your consideration
