6 things to let go of as a child of God
Things scripture tells us not to do
Today I want to share with you 6 things from the Bible we are to let go of as Christians. Things like fear, worry, and anxiety. These things we don’t have to hold onto but we can give to Jesus who cares for us.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
—Matthew 11:28-30
Fear
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
—Isaiah 41:10
Control
“Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”
—Proverbs 19:21
Anxiety
“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
—Philippians 4:6-7
Worry
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
—Matthew 6:34
People pleasing
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
—Galatians 1:10
Being like the world
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
—Romans 12:2
