attempting to control my life. I find myself doing the same thing over and over as I go round and round obsessing over my life. I say that I’ve surrendered all to God, but I keep finding areas that I’m trying to hang on to. I’m ready to let go, but that is easier said than done.
Today, I finally took my sponsor’s advice and made my own God Box. She has mentioned this many times but I wasn’t sure it was something I needed. I mean, I had already given it all to Him, or I thought I had. The problem is that I can’t seem to let go.
My God Box is where I symbolically turn my fears and struggles over to God. By writing it down I’m saying that these areas are beyond my control. I realize that I need help; I need my Savior to take this one for me. Today I officially want to turn this worry or problem over to God. By faith, I’m taking a new step.
My first areas I’m turning over to God (again):
My need to control
My self-image and how others see me
My concerns and our struggles from choosing to be a single income family
My inferiority complex and feelings of not being good enough
My newest sponsee and my lack of confidence
My lack of leadership abilities
My relationship with my husband
· Principle 5: Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. “ Happy are hose whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.”
· Step 6: I was entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character." Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will life you up." (James 4:10)
