In All Our Affairs (B-15)

How has this book, …In All Our Affairs, helped me?

When I was struggling with powerlessness and letting go, I read the sharing on pages 28-29, specifically, “Dear_____, Thanks but I don’t need your help today. Love, God.”  I wrote this message on an envelope, filling my name in the blank.  This became my “God Envelope.”  I could turn things over by writing my worries on a slip of paper and dropping them into the envelope.  It worked!  This was a concrete way for me to let go and let God.  Reading Chapter 7, Taking Care of Ourselves, once again reminds me of the importance of self-care, especially in times of change.  Just focusing on me and practicing self-care can change my whole outlook on a situation.
