Letting Go and Letting God Sometimes there’s a difference in what we want to give up and what we NEED to release. We might be holding tightly to like changed behavior in a wayward child. While it’s never wrong to desire good things, there are times when we have to let go of what we think is best. Other times we grip tightly to assumptions about the way life “should” be. We think things ought to be easier or being a parent shouldn’t be so hard. We fight what we’re being asked to do—effectively resisting taking up our cross (Matthew 16:24) the way Jesus commanded. Sometimes what we must give up are our preconceived notions of how life is supposed to work. I sure needed this revealed to me tonight, because I tend to be a control freak and Im not the one in control over a current situation so I truly need to just let go and let God!
