LET GO AND LET GOD

Let go and let God.  I have heard this over and over and surrender is never an easy task.  There are times when I find myself very wrapped up in the ‘role’ of being a Supreme Being who’s got the ‘whole world in my hands’.  This quickly leads to frustration, disappointment, anxiety, anger, and exhaustion, as well as, eventually the reality that it isn’t my job to run the universe or anyone else’s life.  Somehow I fall into the trap of believing that I know what is best for others while disregarding what is best for me.  I want to hold on to relationships that are ending or unhealthy for me. I continue to hold on to beliefs and attitudes that no longer serve my purposes. I maintain old behaviors that drag me under in the hope that maybe this time it will be different. 

Today I choose to release my need to grasp for control and cling on to people, places, beliefs, behaviors, and ideals that do not serve me.  I open my hands and surrender my expectations and judgments about this day.  Life calls me forward with an open mind and open heart.  I will let go and let God.
