Lisa Wingate Quotes
The Little Box That Was Given To Me Was By No Means Unique. I'd Heard Of Prayer Boxes, And I Knew What They Were For.
... Any Scrap Of Paper Will Do, Anywhere, Anytime Of The Day Or Night. The Important Part, In A World Of Fractured Thoughts, Hurried Moments, And Scattershot Prayers, Is To Take The Time To Think Through, To Write Down, To Clarify In Your Own Mind The Things You're Asking For, The Things You're Grateful For, The Things Your're Troubled About, The Hopes You've Been Nurturing.
And Then?
Put Them In The Box And ...
Let. Them. Go.
That's What Trust Is. It's Letting Go Of The Worry. It's The Way Of Peace And Also The Way Of God. Such A Hard Road To Travel For People Like Me, Who Are Worriers. When I'm Writing A Story, I Control The Whole Universe. In Life ... Not So Much. Actually, Not At All. Things Happen That I Hadn't Anticipated And Wouldn't Choose And Can't Change. That's The Tough Part.
