Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Oh, my friends…you have humbled me to tears. I am so grateful for your transparency. The truth is…every one of us has things we need to “Let go, and Let God.” Sometimes we don’t even know what that thing is, so I would like to take this opportunity to pray for those who commented and those who may be reading.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for loving us, knowing us, and being there for us. It is you who knows are innermost struggles… our fears…our weaknesses…our hurts…regrets…our everything. Father, please help us let it all go and let You work in our lives for Your glory. Help us to be more like You in every way. Help us to love our enemies, forgive those who hurt us, encourage our husbands, give time and love to our children. Please stop us from getting in the way of what you want to do in our lives- For we know Your will is much better than our own. We love you so very much. In Jesus name, Amen.
The Winners of Let.It.Go are…

I’d like to leave you with these two things…
This is one of my favorite songs…its so powerful and so freeing. As you probably know already, I’m a music lover {I “jam” while I cook, lol}.
And this video….oh, this video!!!! I see myself with this huge, stinky Hefty bag of things I’m personally holding onto! Do you??? Ladies, don’t hold onto that “one” hurt, or that “one” grudge- just LET.It.GO!!!!
Please leave your trash in the comments. I challenge you.
My Trash:
Anxiety. People Pleasing. What-if Thinking. Bitterness/Hurt feelings.

Great skit! Our drama team performed it at church recently!
Controlling, guilt, forgiveness,anxiety and phobias
People pleasing, getting down on myself, getting angry at the lost rather than praying for them
Thanks so much for the prayer…and for the music! I am on a constant search for really good worship music and I love the song “Lay ‘Em Down” It was a new instant favorite for me!
My Trash:
worry, not sticking up for what I believe because it’s not popular with the world, insecurities, fear I’m a disappointment/good enough to God and loved ones
guilt, anger/bitter feelings, not forgiving myself
second guessing my decisions, lots of what-if’s, worried about that I could have done a better job
