Are you finding it very difficult to let go and trust God with your life and all?
This post is for you.
Let’s face it; it may be that all you need do to free and release yourself from all that’s holding you down is to just simply let go and trust God?
You know it and you have even been told by concerned friends and loved ones to let go and trust God but you are wondering why on earth should you let go and trust God after all the hurt, mishaps, misunderstanding and defamation and all evil you have suffered?
Hm!!!
It is not always easy to let go and trust God if you have had to suffered a great deal falsely, or if you been misunderstood and mistreated.
Agreed!
But point is, God’s word demands that you do that.
You cannot keep carrying the load of the past or present in your mind if you want God to come through for you.
You cannot keep keeping those tons of burdens, issues, un-forgiveness in your mind if you want the ray of God’s sunshine and glory to beam on your path.
Spiritual excess luggage will slow you down, and that’s if it does not take your life prematurely.
Understand that Satan is always looking for loopholes in your life and walk with the Lord to explore and exploit.
Never give place (foothold, or room) for the devil to make the word of God of non-effect in your life.
So, it is enlightened self-interest to let go and trust God.
That said, let’s quickly look at some scriptural reasons why you should let god and trust God now.

How To Let Go And Trust God
The way to letting go and trusting God is simple; it is by prayer, faith and patience.
You will have to come to God in prayer, you may have to separate yourself and go to secluded places where you are alone with God so you can deal with it once and for all.
You may have to cry if you need to, and you may even have to call someone and tell them that you have forgiven them.
Whatever, just get yourself to a place in your mind where you can hear the Holy Spirit speak to you, instructing you on what to do and how to do it.
And then afterwards, rise up in faith believing that God has heard you.
Believe that God has taken over your concerns, has borne your burdens and is set to working out His plan for your life from that moment onwards.
Then wait in patience until you see the hand of God on your life in answer to prayers, turnaround and complete restoration and even relocation if need be.
Final Word
God wants to bless you, but He can only do so to the extent that you allow Him.
Satan wants to destroy you also, yet he can only do so to the extent that you allow him too.
When you hang on to the past, you will be stopping God from coming down on you with the rain of blessing.
On the converse, you will be permitting the evil to afflict you with all kinds of evils –setback, stagnation, frustration, disappointments, and even with sicknesses and diseases.
But that’s not the way your life should go.
God wants the best for you, but you can stop the best from coming if you keep hanging on to the good or bad of the past and the present.
So what!
Be wise, be spiritually smart!
Receive grace to let go and to start trusting God from today onwards, in Jesus name.
Amen!
