Let Go

August 30, 2026 ·

Pastor Jerry A. Burns

1 Peter 5:7
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

#Freedom #Surrender #Trust #Worry

There is a story about a monkey that reaches into a coconut shell filled with peanuts. He grabs a handful, but when he tries to pull his fist back out, he discovers that his clenched hand will not fit through the opening. He desperately wants to be free, but he refuses to let go of what he is holding.

Sometimes we are much like that monkey. We want freedom, peace, and the blessings of God, but we are unwilling to release the things we are desperately holding onto. We clutch our worries, our plans, our bitterness, our fears, and our desire to control the outcome.

The very thing we refuse to release may be the thing keeping us from experiencing the freedom God wants to give us.

God never asks us to surrender something without purpose. He asks us to trust Him. What are you holding onto today that you need to place in His hands? Let go, and trust the One who cares for you.
