I think it means that whenever it crosses your mind, your shoulders relax and you sigh, "Oh that is in God's Hands now...He will take care of it!" And you feel a peaceful feeling about it. Now, mind you...I tend to think of my problems delivered to God in a helium balloon...with ME holding the string! The key is to let go of the balloon and let the balloon float up, totally out of my reach!

I agree with Tessi. How do you give it to God hands? Sometimes, it is hard, it is a matter of patient and exercising. You have to say ""I give it to you" , you feel so much peaceful inside of you. ANd honestely some problems start to solve when you do that! i tell it for my experience. Sometimes there is nothing you can do, if you see someone arguing, can you do something? No. So give to God hands and he will know what to do!!
Take care

Starflower-
I give it up to God everyday. Just tell God you need him, and his support and ask him to help you and take what you are struggling with and help you with it. Like the others said, you feel a sense of inner peace. Yes, I still think of it. It is hard to give up, because the ED does not want you to give it up. It wants to be in control of you, not God.
You may not notice a whole lot of your thought processes changing unless you begin to read and follow his word. I have to do devotions everyday, and pray and follow his lead, or I start to slip back. I remember scripture verses and pray for strength. I have to do this because I am beginning to explore my Christianity. Others who have had a longer relationship with God may not need too. I actually just gave it all up to God on July ****, so I am learning to trust him. I have found the following verses to be a source of strength lately.

Don't be afraid, for I am with you.
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you. I will help you.
I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.
Isaiah forty-one verse ten

"THAT WHICH ONCE USED TO TERRIFY ME NO LONGER CONTROLS ME" (I love this one. My ed no longer controls me!!!)


I found some great inspiration in the Power for Living book. I have the address, let me know if you want the book. (Its free) I am praying for you .

:hugonStarflower:hugoff I f you believe that God is watching over everything we do and knows our every thought, then we can decide to listen carefully and watch for small signs and be confident that we will be shown the correct path when the time is right. Just pray to Him/Her whenever it crosses your mind to do so and you will stay more in touch and ready to receive guidence.....:love :dog
