Just Let Go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have to practice letting go,

Of that I have no doubt,

But how I’m going to get it done

I still must figure out,

 

How do I let go of the pain

When it still hurts me so?

The sorrow and the grief I’ve felt,

How do I let that go?

 

I want to leave behind anger

And all the rage I feel,

But every day I’m reminded

Of why it’s still so real.

 

I need to learn that what I have

Is all I really need.
Wanting to have “just a bit more”

Still qualifies as greed.

 

All of the things I should let go

Destroy who I should be,

Enslaving me to pain or shame,

To rage or misery.

 

I have to practice letting go

Or I’ll never be free

Of all the things not letting go

Uses to entrap me.

 

James 4:1

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
