Turn It Over To God

I lean trustingly on God and let Go.

I so forget to let go and give my concerns and worries to God. Once I realize they are causing me to have stinkin' thinkin' I realize I have taken it back.

As I release old thoughts from my mind, I release old emotions from my heart.  To release the old provides room for the new.  A cup cannot be refilled unless it is first emptied.  This day presents me with the opportunity to empty the cup, and to release old thoughts, emotions and conditions that no longer serve me.

Turning it over can be very hard sometimes.  I get caught up in doing the footwork and tyring to control a situation.  It is hard for me to know the difference from time to time what is my part and what is Gods's. I can find out real quick when I find myself butting my head up against a wall.  Gods will is a process and it unfolds easily and effortlessly, only when I get out of the way and let go.

I quietly release the old by saying "I let go and let God."  Such prayer is practical and effective.  It makes it easy to relinquish the things from which I wish to be free.

Any time after this I catch myself taking it back I stop immediately and tell god I am sorry that I took control of it and I am turning it back over to him.

In this new found freedom, my spirit sings. Not only do I find release from the old, but I prepare myself for new thoughts, new emotions and new conditions through which I may express more of the Holy Spirit.

Everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! 2 Corinthians 5:17
