Letting Go

This past Sunday the part of the Sermon that stood out to me was letting go of things that we some times hold so dearly. I will not say what I am letting go but man is it something big. Its Thursday and I'm finally saying ok God this has got to happen. I'm scared to let it go because its something I have held onto my whole entire life. I have thoughts of what will I do without this, can I make it on my own, is this really what you are calling me to do Lord? But I have know this is what must be done in order to fully let God take control of my life.  In order to let go of this thing that is precious to me, I have to rest in his presence, where I am complete. Slowing relaxing more and more, and letting go of my prized possession to his care. I can feel secure even in the midst of of these changes, through the awareness he is always there. The one that never leaves me is the same one who never changes. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. Releasing more and more I know he never lets go of my hand. I am secure in that no one, or no circumstances can ever take that away for me.
"For I am the LORD your God
   who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
   I will help you." Isaiah 41:13

"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light" (Colossians 1:10-12, NIV).
