Let go!

We hear it all the time in church, Bible studies, and some of our favorite songs—We need to “Let Go and Let God!!!”

The understanding is that once we release to God, the issue in our lives that plague us, He will take it from there. He will correct the wrong, heal the ailment or bring about whatever change is necessary to free us from the burden of holding on to it and trying to figure it out all on our own. 

But what if before we find ourselves at the point of needing to let go of that toxic relationship or needing to let go of our control over a matter; we practice some letting go in general....  

Letting go of JUDGEMENT 

Letting go of PAST HURT 

Letting go of THE INABILITY TO FORGIVE

Just LETTING GO of _______ (you fill in the blank) 

The list could go on and on. I just shared a few of mine from over the years! 

I’m certain that God has called me to do so much more than I can imagine to advance His kingdom. I’m constantly checking in and self evaluating those things, feelings and situations that if not “let go”; could possibly hinder that work. And whatever’s left over, or missed, I’ll rely on Him doing the rest!


31-32 Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31-32 The Message
