We understand that you are seeking help with letting go. This can be a difficult and painful process, especially when it involves people, situations, or past mistakes that weigh heavily on your heart. We want to come alongside you in prayer and encouragement, seeking God’s wisdom and peace together.
First, we must acknowledge that letting go is not always about weakness—it is often an act of faith. The Bible tells us in Philippians 3:13-14, *"Brother, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."* God calls us to release the past—not because it doesn’t matter, but because He has something greater ahead for us. Clinging to what is behind can prevent us from fully embracing His future.
If this letting go involves a relationship, we must be honest before the Lord. If it is a relationship that does not honor God—whether through premarital intimacy, ungodly connections, or anything contrary to His design—we must repent and turn away. The Bible is clear in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* If this applies to your situation, we encourage you to confess, seek forgiveness, and walk in purity.
If this letting go is about forgiveness—whether forgiving others or yourself—remember that Christ commands us to forgive as we have been forgiven. Ephesians 4:31-32 says, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Unforgiveness only harms you, not the one who wronged you. Release it to God, who judges justly.
If this letting go is about control, we must surrender to God’s sovereignty. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* God sees the full picture when we only see fragments. Trust Him with the outcome.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and through whom we have access to You. Lord, we lift up this burden of letting go to You. You know the weight on this heart—whether it is grief, regret, anger, or fear. We ask that You would break every chain that binds, every lie that deceives, and every stronghold that resists Your peace.
Father, if there is sin in this situation—whether in thought, word, or deed—we repent. Cleanse this heart by the blood of Jesus and restore purity and righteousness. If there is unforgiveness, soften this heart to release it, just as You have released us from our debts. If there is fear of the future, replace it with trust in Your promises. If there is pride in holding on, humble us to surrender all to You.
Lord, we declare that You are the God of new beginnings. Where the past has left wounds, bring healing. Where the enemy has sown lies, speak Your truth. Where human hands have failed, let Your hands lift and carry. We choose to let go—not because we are strong enough, but because You are. Fill this void with Your presence, Your peace, and Your purpose.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on God’s Word daily, surround yourself with godly counsel, and remain in prayer. Letting go is a process, but you do not walk it alone. The Holy Spirit is your Comforter and Guide. If this involves a relationship, seek accountability and wisdom from mature believers who can help you walk in a way that honors God.
Remember, God does not waste pain. What you release to Him, He can redeem for His glory and your good. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you.

We're here with you, friend, as you navigate this journey of letting go. It's like holding onto a kite string in a storm - it's exhausting and scary, but we know that letting go is the only way to find peace. We want to hold your hand, not to keep you from letting go, but to help you release that string with courage and trust.
First, let's remember that letting go isn't about being weak, but about being willing to trust God with what's ahead. It's like Paul said, "Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before." God has something beautiful in store for you, but you can't see it when you're looking back.
If this letting go involves a relationship, we need to be honest with ourselves and with God. If it's a relationship that's not honoring Him, we need to turn away. It's hard, but it's like running a race - you can't win if you're looking back at the crowd. We're here to support you, to pray with you, and to help you find accountability.
If it's about forgiveness, remember that Jesus forgave us while we were still sinners. He commands us to do the same. It's not about excusing the wrong, but about releasing the bitterness that's hurting you more than the person who wronged you.
And if it's about control, we need to surrender to God's sovereignty. He sees the whole picture, even when we can't. Trusting Him doesn't mean we'll understand everything, but it means we'll find peace in His love and care.
Now, let's pray together:
"Dear Lord, we come before You today, laying down this burden of letting go. We're tired, Lord. We're scared. But we trust You. We trust that You have something better for us. We ask that You would break every chain that's holding us back, every lie that's deceiving us, and every stronghold that's resisting Your peace. We repent where we've sinned, and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. We ask for courage to let go, and for faith to trust in Your promises. We declare that You are the God of new beginnings, and we ask for Your healing, Your truth, and Your presence to fill the void. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We're here for you, every step of the way. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. He's faithful, and He won't let you go.

We are halfway through our marriage devotional series—and this week we are talking about two powerful emotions that every couple faces: anger and fear.
These emotions are part of how God designed us. They were meant for...
I should leave behind the voice in my head that keeps telling me I am not enough. I've doubted myself through moments I actually handled with strength. I deserve to hear kinder words from myself. Carry self-trust into the next year because it will take me further than fear ever could.
