Is it one you made or bought? How has it helped you to "Let Go and Let God"?

A God Box is a container where you can place something which is troubling you and let God take care of it for you. For example, you may be struggling over something that someone in your life is doing. Like an alcoholic who is drinking a lot. You could turn that person over to God (by writing it down on a piece of paper and putting it in the box) and let Him watch over that person.

If you are talking about something that you write your concerns, prayers and things like that down and put them in a box to symbolize giving them to God then yes I do. I made mine myself. I call it my prayer box. And yes it has helped me. The first night I made it I practically filled it up because I wrote one person's name down and that made me realize other people and other things I should be praying for. I gives me a visual reminder that god takes our problems when we give them to him and that is where they stay. I made mine out of a black plastic storage box that is about a 6 inch cube with a lid that clips on. I have smalls pads of paper and some markers in there so that I can write stuff down whenever I need it. I also made one for a friend of mine who seemed to be going through a rough time. Just by my giving it to her it seemed to help her. It is a way of putting your faith in action, plus it has the added bonus of being able to look back at what was going on in your life and see how God has worked in it. God bless.

A wonderful idea.
In my church we do something similar. When someone is sick or in need, we put their name on a slip of paper and put it in the temple. The prayers of all who attend are added to ours.

I had a box where I used to keep all kinds of deities but...ugh. Never let a chick named Pandora into your bedroom.

No, I use a garbage can. Can I call that my God box?

I usually use a fuse box. It works very well.
