Trouble Box
Every soul who takes on a human form on this earth is destined to face challenges, worries, fears, doubts, insecurities, feelings of inadequacy and the like. As common as these problems are to human beings it does not mean we need to spend precious time listening to that little nagging voice at the back of our heads. No we cannot ignore our problems but we can leave out the worrying aspect that lies between the time the challenge presents itself and the time the solution is found. Now you may be wondering how exactly to go about this process. The answer is simple.
Obtain a nice small box (one that appeals to you which can be wooden or cardboard) possibly with a slit at the top so that you can insert paper through and one that has a latch or something that acts as a lock to ensure its contents do not spill out or that your privacy is not invaded. You will write all you fears or concerns on separate pieces of paper and before you drop them into the box you will mentally and emotionally release yourself from any worry pertaining to the situation and leave the rest in the hands of God. Now depending on your religious or spiritual beliefs, you may have different appraoches to do this: Bless the box, asking God to take the worry of every situation, challenge, fear etc (that you write and place in the box) away from your mind, body and spirit until He can provide the solution to you.
It may take some practice before you can truly make this trouble box work but once you get the hang of it and truly trust in God it works wonders on your day to day lives. You can also envision God's angels carrying your concerns directly to God the instant you place your paper in the box.
After the situation has been resolved thank God and his angels, take out the paper relating to the resolved problem and burn it. Release the ashes into nature (safely).
