The GOD box

My son and daughter-in-law gave me a  box of yummy chocolate fudge one year for Christmas.  I liked the box so much I saved it.

I heard that another tool in recovery is a "GOD box" where I can get a piece of paper, pray as I write down a particularly worrisome problem, then I fold-up the paper and put it in the GOD box. I rarely use it except for high powered prayer...too really Let Go and Let God.  One of my problems is that I can "let go" but sometimes I "let go with claw marks".

When I use my hands and actively work on releasing the problem or at least, my thoughts about the problem, I find using the GOD box helps tremendously!

It helps me do what a friend of mine says a lot, "Bless it and release it."


Anyway, I painted the fudge box, made a hole in the center of the top and it sits on my corner shelf altar.

"If you pray,  why worry?
If you worry, why pray?"
