Letting go and letting God
Experiencing a Godwink in the midst of chaos
Letting go and letting God takes guts but at some point when you can’t fight anymore it’s the only thing you can do. Let go. When you get to this point gratitude also becomes your default because you learn to surrender to the will of something greater than you. Have you ever wanted something so bad that you were so attached to a specific outcome and wouldn’t accept anything else? I tend to do this but from time to time I am reminded that there is something greater than me that has control over everything in life. No matter how much I fight against things for my will, there comes a time when I have to surrender and in these times I have learnt that being grateful for what is and what is not working was all I could do.
Many a time I have willed things my way and recently in my preparation to move I have been brought to this realisation again. At first I was frustrated and disappointed but none of these resolved anything so I gave in to a power greater than me and looked at the options and opportunities I had. Yes even when I wasn’t getting what I wanted I had everything I needed. Why my plans aren’t going as expected is beyond me but I also, have done this dance enough times to know that rejections and obstacles are God’s protection through redirection, so I let it go. I let go off my rigid plans and surrendered to what is to come trusting that it is all working out as it’s supposed to and not as I want it to.
I was blessed at this moment in time but was so blind to it that I still found the opportunity to complain about the things that are supposedly not working. I caught myself and said a forgiving prayer because in the midst of everything things were also resolving. Yes my house isn’t ready to move into but my mum offered to help and that is more than I can expect. My friend offered my storage space for my stuff whilst I wait. These little miracles changed my perspective form fear to faith. I decided to focus on the blessings that are still in my life, family, help, and little miracles. Being grateful does not mean our lives are free of trial and challenges, no we still have them but instead of wallowing we find the other things that are working to be grateful for. Even though this isn’t my ideal it’s perfect for what and where it’s taking me. We can’t always get things as we want but there’s always a solution and help if we are open to it. So today whatever you are facing that isn’t really working as you planned would it help to surrender and let God/Source do their thing?
Affirmation: I surrender knowing that everything I am experiencing good or bad is taking me to where I am meant to be.
