BOX

I'll cut right to the chase here without a lot of window dressing --- Do you trust your heavenly Father?

If He says He has it covered, does He have it covered?

If He tells you He's working in all things to bring about good for those who love Him, do you trust that?

If He says He's bringing about perfect peace in your life, do you trust that?

If He says you can cast every care on Him because He cares for you, do you trust that?

We spend a lot of time and energy on the WHAT IFs of life.  But what if God does come through for you?  What if He does?

You don't have to be in control because the Master of the universe is.

So here's what to do ...

Get a box.  Any box will do.  Write on it somewhere, 'Trusting God.'  

It's your Trusting God box.  So when you worry about something, give that to God.  It's His now.  Write it down and put it in the box.  Then in order for you to worry about it again, you have to open the box and physically take the paper out.  Then you say out loud:  'God, I'm not trusting You with this right now.'  

That will cure you.

You're worried about your finances?  Put it on the card and drop it in the box.

You're worried about your children?  Write their names on a card and drop each one in the box.

You're worried about your health?  Write it on the card -- drop it in the box.

Because the Bible says:  'Don't be anxious about anything (and I now that's so hard) but in everything by prayer and petition present your requests to God, and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.'  (Philippians 4:6, 7)

Now every time you're tempted to worry about that thing, say with as much passion as you put to your worry:  'I trust You, God -- I trust You, God -- I trust You, God -- I trust You, God.'

You don't have to be in control because the Master of the universe is.  What you've put in the box can stay in the box.

And be blessed.
