I never allow myself to stay unhappy.  Of course, there are moments, days or times that I have been unhappy.  But in general, I don’t allow myself to think that way.  I give myself a moment or a few hours, sometimes a day, but then I give it to God and move on.  That is easier said than done. 

It is hard to say, “ok God, this issue is eating me alive and I can’t function with this bolder in front of me.  I am sorry for whatever it is that I have done to contribute to the situation.  I am giving you this issue.  I am confident that you will find the perfect solution.”  I pray that God will give me the strength to let go of the issue and I give myself permission not to think about it anymore.  I know that God will find the best way to solve the issue.  I then thank God for finding a solution and move on to something positive. 

At times I fail and find my mind going back to the issue.  At that moment I ask God’s forgiveness and again give the issue to God.  If it is a BIG issue, sometimes I have to do that multiple times daily, for many days!  But I don’t give up.  I keep giving it to God until I feel an inner peace.   For the most part, I find myself shaking my head about how the issue was solved, thinking… “I never could have made that happen.”  I give thanks to God.
