You Need To Let Go. Proverbs 3:1-8

There is something about following the Lord, and trusting his path, that releases us from fear, worry and stress. You don't have to know where you're going in order to be free of worry. You just have to be with someone that does know where you're going. If we follow the Lord, trust his direction and lean on him, we'll always be going in the right direction and always arrive at the right location.

Proverbs 3:1-8
1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.

3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.

8 This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
