Letting Go

[Min. Brenda J. Washington]

We often hear, let go and let God, which is exactly what we should do but sometimes we say that and there are people that do not understand or know how to let go or what it means. Letting go means just that, we go through so many trails and tribulation and we get all caught up in this one thing and that one thing; and we get so down that we cannot give God His just praise. God wants us to turn all our problems over to Him, He wants us to come to the altar and tell it all to Him in prayer. We have to learn to trust Him at His words, we have to ask God to abide in us and we have to abide in Him.
Let go of all that is hindering us from praising God, we have to have a forgiving heart to ourselves and to others; we have to let go of the hurt and the pain, the disappointment and the guilt. We have a talk with Jesus and we ask Him to help us, to show us how to leave it to Him, how to give Him all our pain our life and show us how to love Him, ourselves and others.
Letting go and letting God have His way is simple as turning your life over to Jesus, giving Him free will in our lives; praying to God for guidance and direction. John 15:4 tells us that, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” We are in Christ Jesus and in Him we can bear fruit if we be obedient to His will and to His way. So we have to let go and let God take control, in Him that we move and have our being, trust in God and believe in Him and His Son Jesus Christ.
