Sometimes it seems so much easier to hold on to something negative that happens to us even though we know it is best to let go we still want to hang on to it. And there are times when we thought we let it go, but didn’t. Why do we hold onto things that will only bring us down? What is the point of keeping things that only cause us grief? The more we contemplate in our minds and look for a solution, confusion sets in which only leads to frustration. Then anxiety develops when we can’t let go of things that worry us. We need to realize the more we hold on to something negative the less chance we have of moving forward. We will be like stagnant water, still and lifeless with no hope of flowing into the goodness of God and we become stale. Are you worrisome, troubled or depressed? What is it that has caused you to be in this condition? Is it really healthy to live this way? I would say not. When you wake up in the morning what is the first thing you think of? Is it of all the craziness of the day that is ahead of you? Do you wake up resentful and bitter for all that happened yesterday? Are you concerned about tomorrow and all the things you have to do next week? I challenge you when you awaken in the morning tomorrow, let your heart be thankful to be alive and thank GOD for another new day and say, This is the day that YOU LORD has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24
Let us let go of yesterday and all of its problems for GOD has the solution
Let us let go of what may come tomorrow for HE has our future in His hands
Let us let go of what’s happening right now for GOD is at work on your behalf
Don’t try to understand what can’t be understood it will only cause needless worry
Don’t try to make things happen that are better to be left alone GOD knows what HE’s doing so all we need to do is Rest our mind, Relax our emotions Rejoice in our heart and be thankful to GOD and let HIM complete the work HE has begun in us. We have given our hearts to the LORD JESUS and that is beautiful, but HE also wants to be included in our everyday life and every circumstance. HE wants us to let go and let Him take care of it for you. In John 14 JESUS said, Let not your hearts be troubled for HE knew they were troubled with doubt and had questions on their mind about various things. HIS promise in 1 Peter 5:7 says HE wants us to cast all of our cares upon HIM for HE cares for us. HE doesn’t want us to hang on to our problems and be troubled. So let us grasp this mindset with all of our hearts and believe as we give them to HIM they are no longer ours but HIS. But that’s not all there are more beautiful promises in Psalms 138:8 GOD says He will perfect all that concerns us and in Philippians 4:6,7 GOD says not to be anxious about anything and to pray about everything with a thankful heart and let our requests be made known to HIM. HE will not only answer and perfect our concerns But, greater still HIS peace which is beyond all understanding will guard our hearts and our minds in CHRIST JESUS.
Lord Jesus, I thank You for what I’m going through. Please take this problem I’ve been hanging on to. I let it go and give it to You so I can move forward with Your peace in my heart once again. Thank You Lord. Amen
I pray this devotion will be an inspiration to you and help you to let go and give God all your troubles. God bless, Lollita Faith
