For some time now people have been telling me to “let it go,” in any situation I feel I want to try and fix now. So I sing LET IT GO a lot, and I am learning to do just that!!
Lord we so often want to fix things NOW! Forgetting that You work things out perfectly in Your time. Let Your patience, and goodness, and Power shine through us so we can bless others and not get in Your way.
Thank you Jesus, for the gift You gave to those of us who receive it. Acts 1: 8 “But you will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses”…. We are the vessels of this power within.
Psalm 68: 28 “Summon Your power Oh God, show us Your strength.”
As you grow in a closer relationship with God, even though you don’t see Him, you feel His presence all around you. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. If we are to overcome Satan and have the peace and power of God, it must be by looking to Jesus. Let go of everything else and follow hard after Him. He will never fail you. It is impossible to be still and feel His power over anything, unless Jesus becomes our everything. So let things go and trust Him.
As a child I remember my parents always having my best interest in mind. I may have fought and kicked and screamed thinking I knew better. But in the end, if I took my way it would have been disastrous. To this day I still call my parents from time to time to ask their opinion on things. There are times in my life I see that my emotions of whatever I am going through is causing me not to think clearly. I hate being in this state of mind, but Satan loves it, and wants me to react right then and there. Experience is teaching me, let it go and pray. Trust number one God, surrendering everything totally to Him. Also trust those He’s placed in my life to give me Godly advice. Realizing that trials will always happen throughout our lives to break us of self, and to trust and rely on God.
If you are anything like me, you may find yourself wanting to fix things, stop exhausting yourself! You can’t do anything to change anyone or anything, so let God change you. God truly has your best interest in mind. He is so amazing! I know this may sound crazy, but the best part of being still in the valley of life, is knowing God more. The more valleys you go through, the more you see that God never leaves you there. But there is a condition to this truth. He wants to be our everything.
I have learned in my relationship with God that being still requires great strength when I want to react. But by the power of the Holy Spirit I’m learning to be still, and “Let it Go” into Gods hands. I find that even though things all around me haven’t changed, the peace that can only come from God is there. This helps me not to interfere with anything God is doing.
He doesn’t want a part of us, He wants all of us so He can FILL US with His POWER!
