Letting Go

Some things in life are best left behind—not because they were meaningless, but because they no longer fit where God is leading you. Carrying the weight of old wounds, failures, or regrets slows your progress and clouds your purpose. Focus on letting go, because it isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.

The Apostle Paul said, “Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ” (Philippians 3:8, TLB). In Christ, we trade guilt for grace, pain for purpose, and the past for His promise. Our worth is not in what we’ve lost, but in the One we’ve found, Jesus Christ.

If you feel stuck today, take a moment to name what’s holding you back. Surrender it in prayer and trust that Christ has something far better ahead.

Quote

Let go of what holds you back; take hold of the One who leads you forward.

Prayer

Lord, help me let go of what I cannot change and press into You. Amen.

Action Point

Name and let go of one thing today that’s no longer helping you.
