Learning to Let Go and Let God
Let go of the stress.
The stress of the “what ifs.”The stress of reliving the same fears of reoccurrence over and over. The stress of not doing enough to protect my peace and my health.
And simply live, knowing He already knows my tomorrow.
Let go of the friends who were only meant for a season.
Let go of the family wounds.
Let go of the bad thoughts that controlled most of my adulthood.
Let go of the heartache for those who never chose me.
Let go of the fear of not succeeding.
Let go of worrying about what others think.
Let go of blaming myself.
Let go of the hurt that shaped me.
Let go of the “church people” who failed me.
Let go of the religion that condemned me and those I love.
Let go of judgment and conditional love.
And let God…
Let God be in control.
Let God hold my dreams.
Let God remind me who I am, in Him when I forget.
Let God be the One who believes in me when I doubt myself.
Let God place people in my path who are pursuing a relationship with Him instead of simply following a religion.
Let God see my heart and my intentions, even in the moments when I fail to praise and thank Him as I should.
Because God knows my love for Him is real.
He knows my intentions are sincere.
He knows my struggles, my questions, and my weaknesses.
My God has proven time and time again that His way is better than mine—even when I don’t understand it, even when it hurts, and even when I cannot see what He’s doing.
The God who created the oceans and the seas, the God who created me, knew I would fail and chose me anyway.
The God who is perfect allows me to release the guilt of not being perfect myself.
So today, I choose surrender.
I choose trust.
I choose peace.
Today, I choose to let go and let God.
