"Let Go, Let God"

This is a beautiful phrase and I try to keep it in my mind and heart at all times. I first came in contact with the phrase, "Let Go, Let God," in the book, "Gift of Peace," written by the late Cardinal Joseph Bernadin of Chicago. He talked about how he had to let go of things that was going on his life and ministry and let God do the work. For many that is difficult. We need God in our lives at all time, not just when its convenient or we need something for ourselves! God is always there, always faithful, all the time! There is a quote that I found yesterday that made me think of this phrase. The quote says, "Every morning we arise afresh in Christ our light. Ancient Christian writers warn against 'morning demons': yesterday's worries and grievances returning to poison the new day" (Magnificat, 100). Things that happened in the past will do that as well. They keep returning and there is nothing that we can do about the past, it is over. Instead, we have to work on the present and learn for the future. Let go of those things that try to take over our mind and heart and focus on the beautiful things that God gives to us each day. God is in control of our lives. We need to surrender to Him and His will and allow Him to work in our lives, minds, and hearts in a special way! Pray God that we may have the grace and strength to let go of what keeps coming back in our minds and hearts and allow You to do the work that needs to be done! Amen.
