Let It Go

Let It Go

Do you ever feel like you are drowning? I don’t mean physically, I mean mentally, emotionally and sometimes even spiritually. There is always so much to do and so much to get done. How do I fulfill my role as a wife, mother, employee, leader, Christian, friend, daughter, and the list could go on.

That’s the thing, I can’t. In my own strength and in my own ability I will never be able to do everything that’s in front of me on a daily basis. God didn’t create me to carry it in my own strength.

I have to let go of everything and surrender it all to The Lord. But what if something falls? Let it go. What if something doesn’t get done? Let it go. But what if my life falls apart? Let it go. Hmmmm, I sense a song coming out of this….

1 Peter 5:7

Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

Psalm 55:22

Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).

We were not meant to carry the weight or burden of the things we care about and the people we care for. The Lord didn’t create us to do that. We are to throw those cares onto The Lord. He said that He will not allow you to be moved. He won’t allow you to slip or even fail! That’s good news! When we know that He cares for us and He will not let us fail, we can cast all of our cares on Him. Knowing that He will take care of them, He will give us direction, He will make sure that our life doesn’t fall apart and that we will succeed!

I encourage you to look at the things you’ve been caring about and trying so hard to make work. Give those things to the Lord, surrender your WHOLE life to Him! He cares so much for you and will not let you fall! He can take care of those things far better than we can!
