Letting Go

I'm holding on to something that used to be there hoping it will come back, knowing it won't...

Dear Jesus,

Please hear my prayer. I go along each day, trying to run my life my own way. I forget to let go and give you control.

I wonder why things aren't going the way I want them to go. I forget to stop and ask what you want, Lord ... Help me to realize that when you close one door, you open the one you want me to walk through...

I have been doing alot of searching and just asking why is it that i have a problem with letting go, and so i came upon this and again another way to look at things i havent thought about this one. That once goes puts us through something and the outcome is not something that we want it to be, and we have a problem with getting over it, like a choose we make, or a friend we love, or a job we dont get, just about anything in the world. I guess what i am trying to say is that, once one door closes another one opens, i have heard that before but i guess i just let it go through one ear and out the other. Now i am able to take it and think about it but yet change it up a little. Once something changes in life, and God shows me something, and closes a door on me He has another door open ready for me and it is the door that He has open for me. The ways that He shows things to me can be many different way, I know that one way is that He has showed me that i need Him no matter what. He has given me things in my life that i can not handle at all. Thinks were i have had to step back say "WOW now God, what is it that you want" and the funny thing is that the answer can be "to follow Me"

I just changed my facebook status to "I'm holding on to something that used to be there hoping it will come back, knowing it won't." This is a quote that I found and ya know it is me right now. I am holding on to the past, but because of life i want it to come back, but i know it will not. I know because of life that I will not be able to go back and undo what God has done. But I am know happy with what God has done cause I know now , that I have grown closer to Him.
