Know When To Let Go

“There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth… a right time to hold on and another to let go.” Ecclesiastes 3:1,6 MSG

There are moments in life when God calls us to hold on with all our might, to stay rooted, to endure the storm, and to believe for breakthrough. But there are also moments when He calls us to release what no longer aligns with His purpose, to let go of what once served us but has now become a weight we’re not built to carry.

Too often, we confuse loyalty with bondage. We keep holding on to people, places, and patterns long after their season has passed, convincing ourselves that letting go is a form of failure. But in reality, letting go is sometimes the most faith-filled thing you can do. When God asks you to release something, He’s not punishing you, He’s preparing you and making room for what’s next. The pain of letting go might be real, but the peace on the other side is even more real.

Jesus said, “The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came to give life—life in all its fullness.” John 10v10 NCV. You were never created to live bound to guilt, chained to the past, or stuck in cycles that suffocate your growth. Full life requires full surrender, and surrender means letting go of anything that stands in the way of what Jesus came to give you. Some of us are trying to receive His promise while clinging to our pain. We want resurrection, but we’re still clutching the grave clothes. We want healing, but we refuse to stop touching the wound. God can’t fill what we won’t empty, He can’t heal what we won’t expose and He can’t bless what we won’t release. We must be obedient and do like the psalmist tells us, “Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” Psalm 55:22 NLT

There is a weight you were never meant to carry. Some burdens aren’t proof of strength, but signs of misalignment. If it is robbing your peace, draining your joy, and suffocating your spirit, it’s time to let it go. The things you’ve been dragging may not be sinful, but they can still be weights, and every weight slows you down. Hebrews 12:1 reminds us, “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”

There is a race with your name on it. You can’t run it if your hands are full of yesterday. You can’t move forward if your heart is tethered to what God has asked you to release. And while letting go is never easy, it’s necessary. It isn’t the end of your story, it’s often the beginning of something greater.

So today, ask yourself honestly… what am I still holding on to that God is gently asking me to release? What fear, relationship, memory, grudge, or unmet expectation have I allowed to take up space that was meant for peace? What weight have I mistaken for worth? This is your moment to surrender, breathe again and step out of survival and into purpose. To trade control for trust and tension for God’s peace. You don’t have to carry it anymore… cast it on the Lord. Let go and let God.
