Hand it Over...Then Let it Go

Last night (for perhaps the millionth time), I had an epiphany.

When you turn something over to God, you’re not supposed to continue to monitor it.

I’m serious.

Stop fussing.

Stop striving and proving and stressing and stewing.

Stop telling Him what’s supposed to happen next.

Stop being so distracted by it.

And for goodness sake, stop crying so dang much about what ‘might’ happen.

Give a prayer. HAND IT OVER. Then let it go.

If you need to repeat those last three steps every single morning (or every five minutes) so be it.

But stop ‘handing it over’ then continuing to lose sleep and micromanage what you’ve placed in God’s hands.

He’s got it.

He’s held you all along.

He already knows the answer.

You are free to breathe and relax and smile and even enjoy yourself.

Hand it over, my friend (yes…I’m speaking to myself).

Let go.

Trust Him.

Then carry on with this beautiful day.
