With a trusting faith, I let go and let God bring about the
best resolution.
Let Go, Let God
Worrying about how and when a challenge will be resolved never solves the problem or helps me. So I know to release concern to God and be ready to accept a blessing
As I feel an immediate sense of relief. I am able to stop worrying about a situation and to keep from worrying about it later because I have faith in God. I practice that faith every day of my life. My trusting
attitude sweeps away any doubt, disbelief, or skepticism that might try to challenge me.
Releasing all concern,
I experience a serenity founded
on the understanding that God's plan is for a resolution that
blesses me and all concerned.
With a trusting faith, I am letting go and letting God do what is best.
"The grass withers, the flowers fade;but the word of our God will stand forever."
- Isaiah 40:8
