For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14
Lay it down and leave it. Stop worrying. Believe. Trust God. These all sound well and good but how on Earth can you truly let things go? By focusing on something else, something positive.
I have been to retreats and in prayer groups where symbolically we will write down our concerns and either put them on a cross with a thumbtack leaving them there as a symbol of letting God have them or better yet build a fire in a fire pit and burn them. This means to let them go. Satan is a master of recall and wants you to hang on to stuff because he knows you will be burdened and not able to fully trust God if you are fretting.
Keep in mind all the worry in the world does not change a thing. But when you come to Jesus in confidence and give him your concerns or cast them on Him as 1 Peter 5:7 says, then ask God to help you let go. Worry is a tool in the enemies arsenal to keep you wrought up and defeated. Don’t allow this to happen. Trust God and be at peace.
PRAYER: Lord I love you and I love the word. Help me not just let my Bible gather dust but use it to defeat Satan and stay at peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen! I will print this out and give it to a friend who had an issue come into her life that affects one of her grandsons and his family.
