Letting Go and Letting God: Finding Peace and Surrender in His Will

May 18, 2023

Reminder: Today a New Podcast Episode has aired of Dear Father God Podcast. Available on all podcast streaming platforms and YouTube. All links at the bottom of this article.

In a world filled with uncertainties and challenges, we find solace and strength in the assurance that God is in control and desires the best for His children.

In Proverbs 3:5-6, we are reminded to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This verse encourages us to release our worries and fears, trusting in God's wisdom and guidance to lead us on the right path.

Similarly, in Matthew 6:33, we are instructed to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to us. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." This verse reminds us that when we prioritize God's will above our own, He takes care of our needs and blesses us abundantly.

Letting go and surrendering to God's will also require us to release control and allow Him to work in our lives. In Psalm 46:10, we are told, "Be still, and know that I am God." This verse invites us to find peace in surrender, recognizing that God is sovereign and has the power to bring about the best outcomes for us.

As we continue our day, let us keep our minds stayed on the Lord and trust in His protection and guidance. Let us release our burdens and worries, allowing Him to bring healing to the areas of our lives that need it most.

Will you pray with me today?

Dear Father God, 
We thank you this morning for life
Or whenever we are listening. 
May you protect us throughout this day
 And keep our minds stayed on you. 
Bring healing to all of your people
In the places we need it most. 
Teach us to let go. 
Not our will, but your will be done. 
In Jesus' name, we pray. 
Amen.

May you find peace and comfort as you surrender to God's will, knowing that He is faithful and lovingly cares for you.

With blessings and grace,

Ya Rose
