Let Go ... Let God


💚 🌸 💜 ❤️ 🌸
The past / The future.
Sweeping fingers across chest -
Letting go, then step forward.

💚 🌸 💜 ❤️ 🌸 

I have found a tool that has been most helpful in getting through some of the roughest points in my life. It is a simple tool. However, it takes diligence and fortitude to utilize this tool. You have likely heard the advice before. What you may not have heard is a rationale for why this really works. As an empirical reasoner, rationale helps create compliance for me and then when rationale is in place, I am able to jump off into experiential / devotional.


Here is the advice:
💜 Let Go…💜 …and let God 💜 


Here is why it works for me:
Seeing in your mind’s eye the image of a person immobilized as his / her arms are chained on either side / stretched out so that the person cannot move. One arm is chained to the suffering, weighting down memories of the past. The other arm is chained to fear of the imagined future to come. Whether they recognize it or not, many live this image through their life. This overthinking and over rationalizing is too much to carry. This keeps you immobilized.
Releasing the chain of the past through forgiveness. You forgive yourself and others of imagined harm done to you.
Then releasing the chain of imagined futures, you become freed to move into the real future with fortitude.
So, consider the option of … 

💜 … Let Go… 💜 …and let God … 💜

… what have you got to lose?

Matthew 6:26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

"Whatever it is that you fear, take your mind away from it and leave it to God. Have faith in Him. Much suffering is due simply to worry. Why suffer now when the malady has not yet come? Since most of our ills come through fear, if you give up fear you will be free at once. The healing will be instant. Every night, before you sleep, affirm: “The Heavenly Father is with me; I am protected.” Mentally surround yourself with Spirit....You will feel His wonderful protection."
