Finding peace starts with surrendering our worries to the universe and trusting that God’s guidance will meet us in the middle of our uncertainty. Best-selling author of Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to trust God’s timing, embrace patience, and lean on His presence through every season of life.
Sometimes the hardest thing God asks you to do is let go of what feels familiar. The plans you’ve been gripping. The answers you’re trying to force. The things you’re afraid will fall apart if you loosen your hold.
But what if the real risk isn’t letting go — it’s holding on to what was never meant to stay? Sometimes your hands have to release the wrong thing before they can receive the right one.
Trust that what is meant for you doesn’t disappear when you surrender. It finally has room to arrive.
God: You need to let go
You: Of what?
God: You know what
You: I’m trying
God: No, you’re thinking about trying. There’s a difference.
You: It’s hard
God: I know. That’s why I’m asking you to trust me with it instead of carrying it yourself.
You: What if I let go and nothing happens?
God: What if you let go and everything happens? You’re so focused on the risk of release that you’re not seeing the risk of holding on.
You: Which is?
God: You’re blocking what I’m trying to give you. Your hands are full of the wrong thing. I need you to drop it so I can put the right thing in your hands.
You: Okay. How?
God: Stop trying to figure out how. Just do it. Release it. Trust me to catch what matters and let the rest fall.
