Letting Go

I am letting go of the things the enemy of my soul wants me to carry into this new year.

I am letting go of the lies he has told me.
“You are not good enough.”
“You are not worthy of love.”
“You cannot do that, you’re not equipped.”
“You are not a good mom.”
“You are damaging your children.”
“You are not a good friend, wife, daughter, sister & leader.”
“You mess up too much.”
"They are never going to love you."

I am letting go of the hurts and offenses.

I am letting go of my mistakes and the guilt that I allow to plague me.

I am letting go of the negative thoughts and the whining & complaining speech.

I am letting go of the list of things that did not get done.

I am letting go.

I am pressing on.

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14

Yes I am pressing on.

I am choosing to LEARN everything I can from each of the mistakes that I made but I WILL PRESS ON!

Father, Teach me. Help me to see and learn. Help me to let go of all of the things that the enemy would use to hold me back. I trust YOU. I FOLLOW you. I BELIEVE that you can and will still use me in all of my imperfections and weaknesses. Thank you for not requiring perfection. Thank you for still using me. I cannot wait to see all that YOU have in store for 2019. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
