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 Mypromisesto you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologizeforany inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very littletoask of you. Please follow these 10 guidelines.

1. QUIT WORRYING: Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have youforgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them foryou? Ordo 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, notYOURlist. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of theproblem. I can't help you until you turn it over to Me. And although Myto-do-list is long, I am after all...God. I can take care of anythingyouput into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I takecareof 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.Trustin Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, yourproblemsand your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list. Problemwithfinances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional rollercoaster?For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to doisask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE: Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much strongernow, Ithink I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feelingstrongernow? It's simple. You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them.Ialso renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know thatif Igive 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 youcrazy.Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. Butthere's one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't forget to talktome - OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to includemein on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk aboutyourfriends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with me.Iwant to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH: I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where youare.Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me; you wouldn't wanttheview from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, andmeetyour needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much biggertaskthan you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simplepart. How hard can trust be?


7. SHARE: You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When didyouforget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunatethan you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share yourlaughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Shareyourtears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith withthosewho have none.

8. BE PATIENT: I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so manydiverseexperiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, changejobsmany times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousandsofpeople, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when ittakes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on Myto-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because Icreated the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I shouldalways rush, rush, rush.
9. BE KIND: Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. Theymaynot dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but Istill love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created eachofyou different in some way. It would be too boring if you were allidentical.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 createdbyme for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a GodofLove. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes myheart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong.Youare very precious to me. Don't ever forget......
