The Prayer Box

I started writing to God on a regular basis especially when i was studying in Ithaca, NY. Everyone was new. Everything was very new and well i felt lost. Every evening i would return to my room and write the day's events sharing my feelings with god. This habit gave me a feeling of involving god in all that i did. I also launched the prayer box program to god. Things i felt were impossible to achieve, beyond my ability, i would write out a letter expressing my thoughts and seek god's help. I created a folder in my computer called Prayer Box and started dropping the letters there. Once dropped i would not read them again. I would write fresh letters every time the worry reappeared and keep dropping the letters in the box. This process continued. The most interesting thing i saw happening over the months was many of these problems were being resolved on their own, one by one. It is hard to believe but well, my post box was actually working. Slowly but surely even the most daunting tasks were simplified and i saw transformations happening in the environment around me. Those who were against were changed to supporters, those whom i never knew, came around to help, someone would remember me all of a sudden and connect me to resources. Shall i tell you the most wonderful thing you notice when letters are posted? You stop holding on to problems as your own and transfer the entire responsibility to god. And then the magic begins. When god takes over you can feel the air changing. The most unbelievable things happen and before you know it, you have been transported from this side of the problem to the other side of solutions. All of this happens with no special effort from you. It is like sitting in a car next to a driver and trusting the driver's judgement. Once i discovered the post box to be so powerful, the folder grew to subfolders with special prayers for each member of the family. My dad was hunting for an opening, my fiance was hunting for an opening, and i created letters for each of them and dropped it in. You will be surprised that they all got jobs. Interestingly i have dropped many letters now to god asking him to help find a job and i know he has heard me many times. Yet everytime i add the line in my prayer, i trust your judgement lord, dont go by what i say. Maybe that's why he is doing things according to his judgement. After some time, my computer was struck by a virus- the trojan virus and i had to reformat my system. My prayer box of two years now resides in the storage disk. I have created a new prayer box.
