My church recently organised a prayer journey. It was a temporary space set up at the church carpark with air-conditioning and carefully-arranged decor and seating to facilitate this journey of reflection and time with God.
The first thing we had to do when we stepped in was…
1) Capture all our worries, fears and anxious thoughts on paper.
2) Tear the paper up.
Such a simple act, and yet so necessary. Too often we allow our negative and anxious thoughts to prevent us from coming to God fully and in child-like trust.
When we come to God burdened with our problems and worries, we fail to really acknowledge (in mind and in heart) his goodness and love. Thus we leave His presence unchanged and still worried.
Because of this simple act of faith, I was allowed to lay my burdens at His feet…putting them back at the place where they belong.
As a result, I emerged from the prayer space lighter, and feeling strengthened. Like my hope was topped up afresh.
I think I need to do this regularly. Perhaps you too? 
Hi June
