Letting God

Trusting our Higher Power helps us to let go of controlling thoughts and behaviors. We can't choose what's best for others. Only God can do that. When we let go, we can remember that whatever happens is in God's hands.

Taken from the book: A Moment to Reflect: Letting Go

We may be tempted to judge others, but we can stop ourselves by remembering to trust our Higher Power. We can accept that we don't understand everything and we don't have to. We can let God take over.

"Letting God" means letting go of our judgments. It is not up to us to involve ourselves in others' problems and choices. That's not why we're here. Whatever happens in other people's lives is between them and their Higher Power. We can concentrate on our own lives and responsibilities, our own growth and spirituality. That's enough for each of us to handle.

This is so true for me. My own life and responsiblities, my own spiritual growth is enough for me to handle. There are days when I can barely handle that. I have been told lots of times that God will not give me more than I can handle. The thing is, when I forget to ask for help and lean on that help it is to much. I must also remember that I am not responsible, nor can I control anyine elses feelings, thoughts, beliefs or actions. That is a tough one. I give it to God, but I take it back and it never works. Guess it's a good day if the time between giving it to God and taking it back increases.
