many different ways to use this & it's a great idea;  just tailor it to your own needs.


Some use the God box, like to write down things they are having trouble letting go of & in a "ritualistic" manner put the issue or trouble into the box, jar (wtvr) & literally "give it to God"


 


did that make sense... write it down, maybe say a prayer, "I give this to You - God to handle according to your Divine Will" & put it in your box & forget about it!


I used to do the same thing, write things down & burn the paper, as a way to release it.


**You can also use it conversely, make up a God box for hopes & dreams, things you wish for or think you might want to come to pass...  then u could read them months later to see how you are progressing or if you even still want those things.


 


I personally, am a writer & I write words, signs & tape them all over my walls to remind me of what I am focusing on (or simple sayings) I find this helps me a lot.  I have a lot of negative self talk that I am working on ridding myself of, so seeing positive affirmations remind me of the way I want to be thinking, more gently & lovingly towards myself.


hope this helps, -k

My GOD box, or BOOK,  is really imaginary in away.  My slogan is Let go and Let god.  I write my God book here on my computer and it helps me to let things go.  It is amazing when I do how it works.  My god box is a box in my home that you would never know is used for anything, it is decor.  I write things down and place it inside, again letting it go. This all started for me just not too long ago.  But it is working wonders for me.


good luck.

A God box is for those things we have no control over, people places and things the idea is u  put  them in the box and let go.  God will take  care of them while we get our lives back on track.  I read an article about 10 yrs ago and  took evryone out of the box and climbed in myself , the God of my understanding looks after me , you see I always forgot that the people I loved had thier own higher power and that they  would be looked after.  I havent crawled out of that box once , God runs my life today and I have noticed that other people I love seem to be finding thier way too  with no help from me . amazing     Louise
