if

 This is God. 
  Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying
  about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in
  your life now.

  If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in
  this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

  Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of
  work for years.

  Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who
  has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

  Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in
  dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her
  children.

  Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think
  of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

  Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror; think of the cancer
  patient in chemo who wishes she had the hair to examine.

  Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about,
  asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live
  long enough to get the opportunity.

  Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness,
  ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You
  could be one of them!
