Remembering to let go and let God
Remember To Let Go And Let God

We are all learning to let go and let God... and let me tell you from experience it is not an easy thing to do. We all think we got this. I can handle this until you find yourself on the floor waking up from a six day binge in stinking clothes and your face covered in your own puke.

It is then you finally realize I can't do this on my own. This is way bigger than me, and I need help. I obviously have screwed up over and over, and at this point, I need to bring in the big guns to help take over.

Yes, that morning while I was lying on that floor, I cried out for help, and God heard my cries. It was then I let it go, and I let God take over. I have been clean ever since.

I remember when my bishop asked those who had an addiction problem and needed help to come to the altar so that we could pray for them. So many people came and let go. I cried because I remember how my addictions held court for so long in my life.
I never thought I could be clean, I never thought I wanted to be clean.

Until you wake up one morning, sick and tired of being sick and tired. I realized that I was sick of hiding my hurt. I was sick of trying to cover my pain with booze and drugs. I needed to own my problems and change, and since I knew I couldn't do it alone, I let go.
So many people were there in the same boat I was in so many years ago. I prayed that they would find the peace I had found. To know that, yes, the road will sometimes be rough, but it is so worth it!

I had to learn this lesson a few times when I was married. I was lost in a sea of despair. I was dying inside until the day I knew I couldn't do it anymore. That was the day I fell to my knees and let it go. I am here to tell you that yes, he gave me the strength to let it go, walk away, and start a new life. All I had to do was let it go, believe that it could happen, and have faith in him.

Even when I am going through a rough spot, I know where I am going, but I am human, and I want it now! But as always, there was a message I needed to hear, let go, God's got this, don't worry. Pray or worry, you can't do both. So, I chose to pray and let God worry.

So today, my friends, when your problems seem too big to face, when you don't think you can survive yet another day, my advice is to let it go.
You will be amazed at what will happen. And if you're hard-headed like me, you may need to hear the message over and over, but don't worry, he has you covered and will help you with that too.

So repeat after me, let go and let God.
“Be the change you want to see”
