Letting Go and Trusting Godਨਮੂਨਾ

I believe that you can’t fully step into your next season while clinging to your past (which sometimes includes people). One of the hardest parts of letting go is releasing someone who hasn’t wronged you but is still not meant to go with you. In Genesis, we see the story of Abraham and Lot. Lot wasn’t a bad person, but his presence with Abraham created strife, and it wasn’t until after their separation that God revealed the fullness of His promise to Abraham (Genesis 13:14-15). In fact, I find it fascinating that the name "Lot" means veil. In other words, some people, even though they may not be malicious, can sometimes become a "veil" covering God's future from being fully visible to us.

Your destiny requires vision, and vision requires clarity. Some people you must let go of are simply not aligned with your future and are limiters. Now, they might be kind, even well-meaning, but if they cause constant friction, cloud your vision, or don't cause you to grow spiritually, consider letting them go.

Letting go is not rejection, but it’s obedience, and when you obey, you make room for God to bring the right people, resources, and opportunities into your life. As you come to the end of this plan, take a moment to think about what God has shown you over the course of these days. Maybe you’ve noticed that some relationships need boundaries or that you need to let go of them. Whatever God showed you, trust that pruning is not punishment but preparation.

God is making room in your life for clarity and more fruit. This journey is about trusting God enough to walk boldly into what’s next.

Today's Challenge: Take a moment to ask God if there’s someone in your life who isn’t bad but is not best for where He’s taking you. Surrender that relationship to Him.

Let's Pray: Father, thank You for the clarity that comes from obedience. Help me to release anyone who is not meant to be part of my next season. I trust that what You remove, You will replace with better. Lead me into the fullness of Your promise.
