You have heard it said many times in your life to let go and give it to God. For instance they say do not let the little things in your life distract you from seeing the bigger picture. What does that phrase mean to you? It is human nature to want to hold onto many things in our lives and sometimes holding on can take your eyes off of God and even cause some heartache and pain.

Letting it go is easier said then done because everybody wants to hold onto what matters to them and that can range from holding on to the past to just holding onto the heavy burden that has been weighing you down. When people say let go it can mean saying good-bye or just simply dropping the heavy load in which you may carrying. We may be holding onto something from our past that keeps getting heavier or just holding onto the little things that can take your eyes off of what truly matters. God wants us to let go of our past and let go of the things that may be distracting us from serving Him, whether it is carrying a heavy burden from your past or giving him the issue. Letting go to give it to God can be challenging for sometimes we may want to give him part of it instead of the whole thing and that can be overwhelming.

It may be your past that you are holding onto, or it may be a heavy burden that you have been carrying for a while. Giving it to God really means let go of what is holding you back and let the Father take care of it for you for if you are trying to hide from Him, he knows your heart and wants to take that heavy burden off of your shoulders that you have been carrying around that may be weighing you down to a point where you might just have to say "God I give you all of it, please take this burden from me for I am falling and it is heavy to a point where I am overwhelmed."

Psalm 62:8 (NIV) Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Proverbs 4:25 (NIV) Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.

Matthew 11:28 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

God wants us to give him our burdens and let go of the things that are keeping us from serving him and to let Go of the things that may be weighing us down. The saying is true we need to Let Go and Let God take care of it, for when it becomes to much it can be overwhelming and instead of giving Him part of our heavy burden give it all to God for he is our peace. What are you holding onto in your life that is keeping you from giving it all to GOD?

A-men.
