Let God Keep It


I
t often seems difficult to leave our
cares in God’s hands and not feel like
we need to take them back. The answer
to being able to give situations to God lies
in our hearts.
Continuing to dwell on hurtful mem-
ories will soon create a habit. Then that
person or situation will continue to control
our lives. But giving God our problems
does not mean blocking them out of our
minds. Constantly blocking out negative
feelings and thoughts – suppressing
them – can lead to physical problems too.
Deal with troubling thoughts and
feelings. Do not let them manage you. If
they come to mind, acknowledge them.
But then, stop those circulating, hurtful
thoughts, instead of entertaining them.
