Letting It Go
“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” I Peter 5:7
Hello again friends. Today let us just breathe; inhale then exhale. Take in all that is around us; the air, the sun, the rain, the misty morning! Let all the “feels” go. The worries, the pains, the broken promises; all of it. Ask God to come down and enter your very soul and fill you with grace, mercy, understanding; just pure love. Just allow all those negative things that are clouding your mind to slip away. No more allowing the negative thoughts to overrule the positive. Realize that even those hurtful actions of others; are part of God’s plan. He knows you have the strength within you to learn from it, to grow from it, to gain trust in Him; to let it go! Those negative people have insecurities that they purposely throw at anyone in the room; this is because they are not a true child of God. Laugh it off; gain control of the situation, then show them you are the better person, then let it go! Find a way to change that negative into a positive. There will always be a purpose in the pain. Use your inner strength to grow outside allowing others to realize you are a new you! Often times the devil will use thoughts and bring up all those past fears; but shout it out loud, “devil you are a liar, I’m letting it go”. The feelings of positivity will just start flowing! Oh, the joy of relief that will rush through your veins! When those negative people try again to steal your joy, shout again, “not today satan”! When we force that protection that God gives us into our very emotions, our thoughts; great things will happen! Letting it go is simple to some and hard to others; but one must gain courage to actually do it. Find God and ask for that encouragement. Psalms 55: 22, “Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee; He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Pray as you go, pray in every moment, pray to let it go. Letting it go is gaining the best part of you! You’ve got this!

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, today I come to you asking for strength to endure all obstacles that come each day. I pray also for those people that cause others pain and that you could prick their hearts so that they could change, that they find you, your grace and treat others with kindness. Thank you Father for all your guidance; thank you for the patience you provide to help us gain confidence. Bless those who don’t know you and myself as we learn to let go. Amen.
