Do you trust God enough to let go & let him take over? It says in John 14:1, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.
What are you holding on to that you should let go of? Pain? Control? Love? Fear? Addiction? Anger? Insecurity? Bitterness? Inadequacy?
We all have something that we grab ahold of & have a hard time releasing the grasp of. It’s a scary thought to let go of something or someone who we have held onto for so long. Most people find comfort in having something that they feel they have control over. But do you really have control over it, or does it have control over you?
Some people struggle with self-image, others may struggle with addictions….but whatever it may be that has control over you is actually hindering your ability to find true happiness & peace.
•Lamentations 3:17-18•
~Peace has been stripped away, and I have forgotten what prosperity is. I cry out, “My splendor is gone! Everything I had hoped for from the lord is lost!”
Your peace is not lost forever, just hidden beneath the things & people who have control over you. To let someone or something control any part of your life is to let them/it do just that…CONTROL YOU! It affects the well-being of your soul and many times has a crippling ripple effect in many areas of your life, such as your relationships.
•Job 3:26•
~I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; only trouble comes.”
To let go of the people & things that control you is to take back your control and allow peace to enter your life. To let go you must dig down deep and find the strength to allow yourself to trust that God will help you break free from the negative people & things in your life. Ask God to give you the faith to TRUST HIM, then patiently wait for the Lord to deliver you to freedom from the people or things that have control over you. He will heal your life, just trust him enough to let him!
•Lamentations 3:25•
~The lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.
Blessed Mama ❤
You have no idea how perfect your blog filled the needs of my heart today! I have been struggling a lot with things that are completely out of my control. My job is at risk, as my boss is looking to sell the company, our daughter graduates and we still don’t know how we are going to make the funds happen for her dream of college, health concerns ect. I know my God has a plan and a divine purpose for us all. We must simply ask, seek and trust in it. He will take is all where we are meant to go. Trials and human emotions make it really hard to do this some days. My goal is to be on the roller coaster of life and let go of my death grip on safety bar of my own imposed control. I want to raise my hands in praise screaming in excited joy, so I may full experience the amazing ride God has planned for me. Every twist, turn, loop, incline and valley of it is a part of his plan for me. Thank you for this much needed reminder doll! Much love! ~Evelyn
AMEN! As always, sending blessings & love to you my sweet sister ❤ I am very blessed to have you in my life!
