On one hand, I find it easy to let go of things around me, but on the other hand, I often stay on my path until I am pushed into letting it go. 

It’s rare for me to have a difficult time letting go of possessions, both things that I have accumulated and heirlooms that I have acquired.  I find that my memories outweigh what I gain from most items from the past.  That side of letting go is incredibly easy for me.  I can detach myself from the possession and still find joy in that special memory.

Letting go of the path that I am following is not as easy.  I find that I want to hold on until I am sure that my path has hit a dead end and that the right new opportunity has surfaced.

It’s not that I’m afraid to let go of control, or that I don’t want to be challenged by a new path.  I am hesitant because I want confirmation that the change is leading to my intended path. 

Prayer is where I turn when my path is turned upside down.  I don’t tighten my control; I do the opposite and surrender control to Jesus.  Through prayer, I am thankful for redirection to my intended path, despite that direction currently being unknown.  I am thankful in advance that my path will be unveiled.

I have learned that my way is lacking and Jesus’ way is not.  Handing over control, I listen for opportunities to surface.  Testing out the path, while continuing to be prayerful. 

Patiently confirming the path through my level of inner peace, understanding that moving forward is dependent on my level of peace.  Stress and worry stop me in my tracks and signal that I have taken back control.  I move to prayer, surrender, and again give Jesus control. 

Whenever life gets too stressful, I step back and know that it’s time to let go.
