"The Power of Letting Go..."
Philippians 3:13
New International Version
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
We all go through disappointments, set backs, and things that we don't understand. May be you prayed for a loved one, but they didn't get well. Or maybe you worked hard for a promotion, but you didn't get it. You stood in faith for a relationship, but it didn't work out. One of the best things you can do is release it. Let it go. Don't dwell on it anymore. If you go around wondering why things didn't work out, all that will lead to is get well. Or maybe you worked hard for a promotion, but you didn't get it. You stood in faith for a relationship, but it didn't work out, all that will lead to is bitterness, resentment, and self pity. Before long, you'll even blaming others, blaming yourself, or even God. You may not understand what happened. It may not have been fair. But when you release it, it's an act of your faith. wondering why and self-pity. Before long, you'll be blaming resentment, others, blaming yourself, or even God.
There is power in letting go of the past and the frustration of trying to figure everything out. When you release your questions, you are saying, "God, You are in control. I trust You." And when you put your hope in God, that's when He can heal your heart and lead you forward into victory.
