“Let Go and Let God”
By Dianne Prince
“Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it” (Matthew 16:25, NIV).
Letting go can feel like stepping into the unknown, especially when we hold tightly to things that seem essential to our survival, happiness or security. God calls us to trust Him. A sure sign that we trust God is when we surrender to Him those things we fear, those things we control and those things we plan without consulting God. Surrendering to God is not about losing ourselves; it is about gaining what God knows we truly need. When we release everything to God, we make space for Him to work His perfect will in our lives.
Surrendering to God does not mean giving up; it means giving over. It means allowing God’s love and wisdom to guide us rather than our own limited understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” As you release those things you are afraid to let go of, remember God has a plan that is greater than what you could imagine.
Open your hands, release your fears, and trust that God’s purpose will always lead you to something better. In surrender, you find peace, purpose, and His presence guiding you forward.
