Take a big, deep breath and think about that moment and thank God for it. Picture the moment and place that moment inside of a box that is wrapped beautifully. This box has a big, red satin bow on it and God hands you the box! You open the box, you pull on the ribbon, and it becomes to unravel. You ask God, "Why would you let this happen to me, Lord?" He says, "This is to allow you to be the person you're meant to be!"
8:56 – Say: "God, thank you for creating that moment so I could grow. Thank you for the outcomes, and the people that came out of that moment."
Tie the ribbon around your wrist so you can remember that you let go of your feelings surrounding the moment, and to remember how you've grown!
