“To let go is to fear less and love more!”
We are afraid all the time. We fear what might happen next with our child. We fear the “dreaded phone call”. We fear that we are going crazy. We fear that we might never see our child or grandchildren again. We fear what might happen when our child gets out of jail or rehab. The list goes on and on. We lay awake at night being fearful and we wake up in the morning fearing what the day will bring. This is not what we thought our lives would be and certainly not what we signed up for when we became a mom.
But, what if we begin to trust God with all the things for which we are afraid? What if we make a conscious decision to let go of our fear and allow Him to hold us AND our children in his more than capable hands? He can and will deliver us from our fears . . . if we will allow Him to. Meditate on the verse in Psalm 27:1 where is says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?”
If we can learn, with God’s help, to fear less, we will have room in our lives to love more. We will have more space to love the other members of our families better. We will be able to love and show compassion to others who are suffering and may be less fortunate than we are. We will have room to love ourselves more so that we can be the women that He intends for us to be.
Start today! Fear less and love more!

Thank you for this beautiful insite. I want to be able and practice letting go of my anger and develop my trust in Jesus.
Today I gave consideration to the same thing- to focus on centering my actions, will, and purpose in His will for me. I’ve focused so long on everyone else I love and can often forget that my number one responsibility is to work on myself and allow the Lord to make something of me that is more than what I can make of myself. For a long time, the only thing I could do well, it seemed, was to worry, cry, and lament my sorrow. In time, the Lord taught me compassion that changed my perspective and helped me see the ONLY thing I was given ANY control over was my own heart and my own will. Once I could truly give my all to the Savior, I could begin to feel His cleansing effort in my behalf, and I have even learned that despite my circumstances, I can feel joy. The Lord most certainly is in the very details of our lives, and if we are still and really listen, we will hear that still small voice speak with power and authority so fear and doubt have no place within us.
I want to hear his voice and plan for me to live in joy and faith in his purpose for this pain
