Effective Immediately:

 

Please be aware that there are changes you need to make in your life.

These

changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill my promises

to you to

grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any

inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little

to ask of

you. Follow these guidelines and trust in me as well...

 

1. QUIT WORRYING

 

Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you

forgotten

that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do

you just

enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

 

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST

 

Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not

YOUR list.

Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the

problem. I can't

help you until you turn it over to me. And, although my to-do-list is

long, I

am, after all, God. I can take care of anything you put into my

hands. In fact,

if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things

for you that

you never even realize.

 

3. TRUST ME

 

Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back.

Trust in

me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your

problems and

your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on my list. Problem

with finances?

Put it on my list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For

my sake, put

it on my list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

 

4. LEAVE IT ALONE

 

Don't wake up one morning and say, " Well, I'm feeling much stronger

now, I think

I can handle it from here. " Why do you think you are feeling stronger

now? It's

simple. You gave me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also

renew your

strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you

these

problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them

with me and

forget about them. Just let me do my job.

 

5. TALK TO ME

 

I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you

crazy. Forget

the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But

there's one

thing I pray you never forget. Please don't forget to talk to me -

OFTEN! I love

you. I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in on the

things going

on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and

family. Prayer

is simply you having a conversation with me. I want to be your

dearest friend.

 

6. HAVE FAITH

 

I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you

are. Have

faith in me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me, you wouldn't want

the view

from my eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and

meet your

needs. You only have to trust me. Although I have a much bigger task

than you,

it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part.

How hard

can trust be?

 

7. SHARE

 

You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did

you forget?

That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than

you. Share

your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with

those who

haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those

who have

forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

 

8. BE PATIENT

 

I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many

diverse

experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change

jobs many

times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of

people,

and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it

takes me a

little longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list?

Trust in my

timing, for my timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire

universe in

a nick of time, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

 

9. BE KIND

 

Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They

may not

dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I

still love

you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created each of you

different

in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please

know I

love each of your differences.

 

10. LOVE YOURSELF

 

As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were

created by me for

one reason only - to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of

Love. Love

me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes my heart

ache when I

see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very

precious to

me. Don't ever forget that!

 

*With all my heart, I love you,*

 

*GOD *
