I heard about this woman who kept a box in her kitchen that she called her 'Worry Box.'
Every time something troubled her, she would write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the box.
She resolved not to think about her problems as long as they were in the box.
This enabled the woman to put her troubles completely out of mind.
She knew they could be dealt with later.
Occasionally she would take out a slip of paper and review the concern written on it.
Because she had not been drained by anxiety, she was relaxed and better able to find the solution to her problem. Many time she discovered that a specific worry no longer existed.
Writing down on a paper and putting them in a box maybe helpful, but how much better it is to place them in the hands of God. Worry robs us of joy, drains us of energy, stunts our spiritual growth and dishonors God.
Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its owm things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." matt 6.34
Lets believe the Lord's promises and trust Him to meet our needs. Placing our worries in His hands is far better than putting them in a worry box.
*He put His peace in our heart when we put our cares in His hands =)
