Annette to Heavenletters:
Dear Gloria, here is my most urgent question to God. How does it work? Do you just print it as is? Do you think it's OK to ask a question like this? How does God answer? How long will it take to get an answer?
Gloria to Annette:
Your questions to God are most welcome. Sometimes a person's questions are edited for clarity, grammar, spelling, and space, or other possible factors. Some questions are printed exactly as they come.
Any question from your heart is wonderful to ask God.
God has said that His answers go directly to the questioner, before the answer is physically received. God's answers are blessings, and He blesses the person who asks Him as they are asking.
I relay the questions to God in the order in which they are received. Because Heaven is about two weeks ahead now, I will email the answer to you as soon as God gives it.
Annette to God:
Dear God, I am a new subscriber to Heavenletters. I am so grateful that You converse with us through Heavenletters, and I am grateful to Gloria and all those who share Your love through the Internet. I find it incredibly uplifting, not to mention a great relief!
God, I am very distressed by my older sister's continued attempts to divide and control our family, especially her attempts to use the legal system as a weapon to vent her wrath against our father and against our brother M., and her duping and using our youngest brother P. to aid her in her nefarious schemes. I am alarmed by the great suffering she has been inflicting on our aging parents. It also distresses me that my brother P. always chooses to marry women who are very controlling and deceitful like my sister.
I'm so tired of this nonsense, God. I want open, honest, loving communication in my family and healing for all. My parents won't be with us very much longer, and I want to visit them before it's too late, but my husband and I don't have much money. All these things are making my head swim!
What advice do You have to make it easier for us? Is there anything for me to do other than what I've been doing? I'm feeling strongly to visit my parents, but with such a tight budget and so many debts and my health being so delicate, I need some advice from You. I feel confused as to what to do. I want to help the situation with my family, but I feel stymied, even paralyzed at times. I need Your advice.
What should I do? And, also, would it be OK to visit my parents in June or July?
Thank You, God, for helping us with this. I'm very grateful for any advice You can give.
Your loving daughter.
God to Annette:
My dear loving daughter, you are taking on too much. All burdens do not belong to you. You can only be responsible for yourself. You cannot be responsible for what your sister does or whom your brother marries.
That does not mean you have to like it either, dear one. But you have to let it go.
It may seem that your sister's motives are financial, but beneath that is your sister's search for her birthright, which is love. The children that followed her took some of what she felt belonged to her. Her parents took away from her and denied her what she held as hers. She feels usurped. She feels she is owed something, that your parents owe her, and she will not be denied.
Her needs are great. She sees from a narrow point. She is afraid of losing out, and so turmoil is born. She sees the world as intruding on her. She sees that she must defend herself. She searches for allies like your younger brother and legal advocates. She misses out on the love which is her deeper need, and battles instead.
All you can do is bless your sister from afar. From afar, love her as best you can. You cannot mend her ways for her, but you can send her My love, and you can entrust her to Me. Give her over to me, dear Annette, and with her your worries.
The same with your younger brother, who also chooses his own turmoil his own way.
And you choose yours by worrying so much.
Your wings can only spread so far.
You cannot take care of the whole world, Annette.
Rely on Me more.
And rely on yourself more, not others.
It cannot be wrong to visit your parents. You do not need anyone's permission. You are entitled to visit your parents and comfort their hearts and yours. And you will do that, for you are a loving daughter, to your earth parents and to Me.
At the same time as you take on too much responsibility, you also give it away. You look outside too much for help in making your decisions. Make your own decisions with Me, Annette. Trust your heart. Have confidence in your own life. Remember it is yours. You and I are responsible for your life. You have a good heart, and you can listen to it. Do not depend so much on factors outside you or on other people. I am God, not other people.
Of course you can visit your parents in June or July or anytime you choose. And when you visit them, love them with all your heart. Listen to them, but do not take on their woes. You cannot correct their lives. Shine My light on them.
You tend to give away too much of yourself. This is part of your taking on too much responsibility. You cut yourself up. You deplete your own reserve of energy. Remember that I am here. Give My love to others. My love is infinite. It never gets worn down. You do not help others when you make yourself tired. This is a key to your health. Keep your own energy. Love yourself. You are entitled to much love.
Whatever your health has been, I want to tell you that you can be powerfully healthy today. I would like you to shift your thinking about your health. Just a slight shift in your thinking. Instead of thinking of yourself as delicate, think of yourself as robust. Have fun with it. Past is the past. It does not have to rule your future or your present. Supreme health is yours to choose. Allow it. Feel it entering you as cream poured from a pitcher fills a bowl. Feel My light entering your cells. I go deep. My light shines on high, and it shines in you.
Look at your finances from that same point of view. Look at all you have, Annette. You have great prosperity. Look beyond dollars and cents.
Accept My love and share it with your husband, My blessed son. And say hello to M. for Me.
Keep Me with you. Keep awareness of Me with you.

Julie H-S to Heavenletters:
Dearest God, thank you for your loving answer to Ruth on mothering. Those are words I need to hear over and over. I thank you for touching my heart and reminding me to release my energy from my son by looking at his beautiful soul and praying for surrender.
