LETTING GO

I’ve learned there are some things that are in my control, and lots that are not. Though when God is in charge of my mind, He guides me through my hardest moments. Control is so hard to give up, but God has already planned my steps. He will never lead us astray. This is one of my biggest battles within my faith journey. 💭

Proverbs 25:28 - A person who has no self-control is like a broken down city without walls 📖

... Read moreLetting go can be one of the most liberating yet challenging aspects of a faith journey. It's essential to recognize that while we cannot control everything—like past mistakes, others' opinions, or future outcomes—we can learn to control our perspective and response to these challenges. Scriptures like Romans 12:11-13 encourage us to focus on our attitude and gratitude, while Proverbs 4:23 urges us to guard our hearts against negativity. Cultivating a prayer life centered on trust strengthens our relationship with God, reminding us that self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Many people struggle with letting go due to fear or a sense of loss. However, true freedom lies in surrendering our desires to God and embracing a steadfast faith. Habakkuk 3:17-18 illustrates that even amid trials, we can rejoice in the Lord, who provides security and strength. Engaging with faith communities and sharing our experiences can further reinforce our journey, allowing us to learn from one another and grow in Christ. Ultimately, letting go leads to a deeper fellowship with God, empowering us to face life's uncertainties with confidence.

Letting Go and Trusting God 🤍🫰🏾
There comes a point in our walk with God where we have to release the burdens we were never meant to carry. Whether it’s resentment toward those who have hurt us, disappointment in ourselves, or the weight of past mistakes, holding on only keeps us stuck. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians

The Grief of Letting Go
I almost had a relapse into my old life. Nostalgia almost made me backtrack but something inside me said no it’s a trick. It’s OK to reminisce on old feelings, but it’s not OK to run back to comfort. You have to remind yourself why you can no longer be around certain spirits. You have to remind you
