Quotes About Letting go

Finally, I learned that we shouldn't seek answers as much as we should seek God. We get overanxious. We try to microwave our own answers instead of trusting God's timing. But here's an important reminder: If you seek answers you won't find them, but if you seek God, the answers will find you.

Sometimes the simplest and best use of our will is to drop it all and just walk out from under everything that is covering us, even if only for an hour or so—just walk out from under the webs we've spun, the tasks we've assumed, the problems we have to solve.

learned to live totally in the present and die to the past. Realizing

The past is the past. That's all it'll ever be, and it's certainly not worth feeling bad in the present over.

our job in life is to endure, to be kind, and to constantly put the past behind us and not dwell too much on the future.

Trust in God to guide you through.
