Philippians 4:6 "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
Letting go is something I've always struggled with because I refused to be a person who gives up at anything or on anyone...I'm a fighter I don't give up I see things through. God helped me to understand that letting go and giving up are not one in the same when you are a part of His Kingdom.
Giving up represents a quitter, a person of little faith, and admittance of defeat. None of those are characteristics of who I am in Christ today nor who I will become in Christ in the future!
I am more than a conquerer!!!
On the other hand, letting go represents strength and wisdom (and true wisdom comes from God). To relinquish control by letting go gives God room to work...it shows that you trust and have faith in Him.
Think about painting a canvas....God gives you a vision, the tools you need, then guides your hands to make that vision a reality. At some point while painting you let go, take a step back, and make sure you are still going according to God's plan. This is an example of what letting go actually is...it's a chance to let God put things back in perspective for you so that you can fulfill His purpose. It's not giving up it's knowing that you are not it in alone and sometimes you have to consult the King and let Him have His way. Find peace in knowing that God is in control and He is never defeated and as long as you belong to Him neither are you.
