" Let Go, Let God"

Sometimes we ask God to help us with something, but we are unwilling to let go and let him take care of it, even though it was us who requested for his help in the first place. Many times we stand at his side as he tries to fix our problem and when we get irritated and impatient at the pace at which he works (sometimes it takes awhile), we try to interfere because we think, with our disgusting human pride, that we can handle the problem ourselves. Maybe we should leave it in his hands because, regardless of how long he'll take, at least we have the assurance that the problem will be well-taken care of in the end. In the grand scheme of things, only he knows what's best for us, his precious children.

With this, I commit myself to you, Lord. Together I lift up my family, my friends. Their troubles, fears, insecurities. Only you can grant us this peace we seek for.

" He will protect you as you come and go, now and forever," [psalms 121:8]

This is easily one of my favorite bible verses. It's apt in any and every context.
