“To let go is not to be protective,
It is to permit another to face reality.”

We want to protect our children, don’t we? It’s what we do because it is what we have always done. From the time they were little we have been there to shield them from danger and to protect them from hurt and pain. It isn’t easy to turn that off just because they are adults. They are still our children and we are still their moms.

The problem is that we are most often trying to protect them from themselves now, which is virtually impossible to do. They are making their own choices and even when they are bad choices with the potential to hurt them, we can’t do anything about it. When we try, we get lost on a roller coaster of emotions that includes a lot of pain and anxiety.

It seems impossible for us to let go and permit our kids to face the realities of their choices and actions. However, with God, we can do it! He can and will give us the strength, courage, and wisdom to allow them space to experience and recognize the results and consequences of what they are doing. We must turn to Him and then trust Him to help us and to help them. He’s waiting for us to let go or surrender them so that He can be the one to help them in ways we cannot begin to imagine.
