The Boni Bunch: Let go and Let GOD

Let go and Let GOD

I ran into a little problem this week.

I am, internally, making it a BIG problem.

I unintentionally crossed a line and opened my big, fat mouth and betrayed a trust from a friend.

The POTENTIAL repercussions have me freaking smooth out.

It's not even the actual results of my big mouth that are the problem.

It's about me over-thinking things and stressing about things to the point of major anxiety.

Tears. Frustration. Obsessive dwelling. More tears. Worry.

I DON'T LIKE THIS

My friend isn't even making a big deal about it.

She says that we're good and all is well.

But my brain won't shut off about the POTENTIAL future issues.

Yesterday, my friend gave me the scripture:

Psalm 138:8 "He perfects that which concerns me"

I was thrilled by this scripture... YES! He will perfect every little detail that is a concern to me!

ALL things work together for the good of those who love Him... and he will perfect my every concern!

EVERY.SINGLE.CONCERN.

Problem is, I have been more concerned about the concern than about letting HIM perfect it.

I have been so worried about all the crud associated with how I hurt my friend and made a stupid mistake that I haven't actually given it to HIM.

----------------------------

Dear God, I NEED you to perfect this concern! I thank you that your Word says that you will do it, so I believe you will! I believe that you are already working it all out for YOUR good! I believe that, as my friend says, it will all be okay! I thank you, in advance, for your peace. I thank you that I don't have to hold on to this anxiety- Jesus died for my anxiety. Thank you for spirit of power, love, and a sound mind that will get me through and enable me to let go and let YOU have it!

Amen!

It sounds like your friend would be sad if she knew how badly you are hurting....but I think God is hurting more. If I know your friend, she doesn't think you betrayed her...."A friend loves at all times!" :)

It's hard to let go, let God and LEAVE it there, isn't it?
