Let go, and let God!



Have you ever been in the mood to let go of worry, fear and doubt? Ever wonder what that would be like?

This issue has been on my mind a long time ,I struggle with it , in fact I don’t think it's possible to be in this world and not have to deal with it. But there is an answer and its a simple one, stop trying with your own strength to get rid of those emotions and instead ignore them and seek God instead. Don't just seek God but rather seek Gods presence, take each day, and each moment one at a time.
Jesus tells us “can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?” Of course not.

God intended us to trust Him. Worry is the opposite of faith & trust. When we learn to give our problems, needs, so forth to God, we're allowing Him to be in control, allowing ourselves the liberty, the freedom to enjoy what He has given us. Some of us by nature worry more than others. We should pray, giving whatever is bothering us to God, then going forth doing our best to enjoy life as it happens. And when the uncertainty of life takes hold of us, remember, God is still on the throne, He is still there, able to hear our heart's cries, always waiting to comfort & restore. It takes practice to let go of worry, fear and doubt, this doesn't mean we're to not be responsible but rather learn to enjoy the love & beauty in our lives. Whatever we feed within ourselves is what grows. Feed doubt, fear, & worry....they increase. Feed trust, faith, joy, & peace; they grow. So take each day, and each moment one at a time and let go.
Your friend, Gen
