Tools for life transformation #1 Make a God Box

Step one: Get a box. A shoebox is good.

Step two: (Optional) Decorate it anyway you want. Pictures from magazines, glitter, whatever.

Step three: When you have a problem, write it down and put it into the box.

Step four: Tell yourself, “I’ve turned this over to God.”

Step five: Every time you find yourself thinking about this problem, remind yourself you have turned it over to God and think about something else.

Step six: Do the footwork and turn the results over to God. Show up for the interview, send in the paperwork, buy the lotto ticket, whatever. Maybe it’s not the right job for you, or maybe it’s not time for you to win the lotto.

Step seven: Do the next right thing.

Step eight: Every now and then, go through the box. Have some gratitude for the things that have worked out, (you may be surprised), and put the other stuff back in. Repeat steps one thru eight.

Fear and faith are a on a seesaw. When fear goes up, faith goes down. Focusing on the negative increases the negative- focus on faith, faith increases and fear naturally decreases.

Special thanks to my wife Julie who taught me this many years ago, but naturally, I wouldn’t listen.
