For many of us, the things we want to give to God are weighing on us down and keeping us from experiencing His peace.
It’s difficult to get our problems and worry to God. Letting go of what we’ve held on too for so long and letting God have His way is not an easy thing to do.
God is able to handle anything we give Him. Jesus bore the weight of our sins and disobedience on the cross. That was no small task. Just think of the sin you have in you’re life and them multiply it by billions. There is not sin we can commit that God can’t handle.
Letting go of something and letting God be God means we are willing to not dwell on the past but focus on the future. It means we are willing to see our lives through the grace given to us by God, through His Son Jesus.
Letting go and letting God means we are willing to choose to allow Jesus to carry whatever is weighing us down.
When we choose to keep hanging onto things that God wants us to give to Him, we are missing out on the blessing of God’s peace. Imagine living every day with a 100-pound weight changed to both your feet. If we give it to God we can have those weights lifted and be able to walk in true freedom.
Giving our sins and worries to God has to happen every day. We as humans tend to give our worries to God and then just pick them right back up.
My son lives a long way away from me, and I worry about him often. I pray for God to watch over him and protect him. Then I pick up the worry again when I’m done. I know I need to submit and release my son to him. But it’s the most difficult thing I have to do.
Ephesians 3:20 says,
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
