The Power of Letting Go: Finding Emotional Freedom for Wellness

A powerful warrior standing strong, representing inner strength and resilience in the face of life's challenges.

Dear You...the one living with more Faith than Fear,


Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, doesn’t it? Just when we think we’ve got things figured out, a challenge arises, and the instinct to control every aspect of the situation kicks in. We want to plan, adjust, manage, and predict outcomes so that everything works in our favor....but here’s the truth: the more we try to control, the more out of control we feel.


Letting go isn’t easy.

It’s human nature to want to hold on to our plans, our expectations, and our desires for how we think life should unfold....but holding on too tightly often leads to disappointment, frustration, and emotional fatigue. The key to emotional freedom lies in something that feels counterintuitive—surrender.


Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up. It means trusting that there is a process, a divine flow to life, that is working in our favor—even when we don’t fully understand it. Letting go means releasing the need to know all the details and resting in the truth that everything happens for a reason.


In Philippians 4:19 (NLT),

Paul reminds us: "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus." When we rest in the assurance that God is with us, providing for our every need, the weight of control begins to lift. We no longer have to carry the burden of "figuring it all out." We have God, the Creator of everything we can feel, know, and see, working on our behalf, ensuring that life supports us, beyond what we can feel, know, or see. What a joy! What an honor. (It makes me teary eyed just thinking of a love so sweet. So faithful...thank you God.)


There is an incredible emotional freedom that comes with surrendering control. When you stop trying to dictate the outcome of every situation and instead trust in God’s timing and provision, peace begins to flow. Suddenly, the things that once brought anxiety lose their grip on your heart. You realize that everything is being worked out for your good, even the challenges that seem impossible.


Trust me, I know all too well the difficulties you may feel in letting go....but that’s why you’re a faith-maker. You are showing yourself that God knows exactly what you need, and He is working behind the scenes to bring you to your highest good. Letting go is an act of belief, a practice of trusting the unseen, and a declaration that you are not in this alone. God is with you and most importantly, God is FOR you.


So, how do you begin to let go?

Start small. Let go of the little things—like trying to control every detail of your day or worrying about outcomes that are beyond your control. Then, build your way up to the bigger things—trusting God with your dreams, your relationships, and your future.


Remember, emotional freedom is a journey, not a destination.

It’s a daily practice of releasing control and surrendering to the One who holds all things in His hands. When you let go, you create space for peace, joy, and emotional wellness to enter your life....and most importantly, you allow God to move in ways you could have never imagined.


As you reflect on this, ask yourself:

“What am I holding on to that I need to release?”


Trust that God is already working things out for your good,

even when you can’t see the whole picture.


With Love and Understanding,

Dr. A
