Treasure your prayers, God does. He wants to answer them too. Think of this as the channel, the hallway, the waiting room. In a doctor’s office we fill out paperwork and are honest to the best of our ability at that moment. We handed the packet back and waited. We wait for the doctor to look over it and come up with a plan before seeing us. This box is like that. The waiting rooms. We put our honest prayers on paper and let the God, of our understanding, assess how best to handle it. Trust the process.
Twelve Step programs are spiritual in their design. We as Alcoholics/Addicts must turn our attention to something other than human aid and for us to let go of the controls we think we have over people, place, and things. For the most part we can pray, light candles, meditate, or go to spiritual retreats to learn how to turn it over to a Higher Power. However, in recovery we learn the power of pen to paper. Therefore, we have God Boxes. The boxes are a tool to set your prayers, goals, pain, fear, ambitions, ad infinitum. We learn to turn it over by writing it down and putting it in a box. We learn to let go and let God.
