It’s all up to me and you and God.

Paul speaks in the Bible about being transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Rom 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(KJV)

The new thoughts and new way of looking at your situation come from God – is God speaking to you. But you have to turn from your way of looking at life (repent) and submit yourself to God to allow the reality of God’s truth into your heart and mind.

When that change takes place within you, that’s God’s work. That is the key. Then whatever you physically do after that will be from that new paradigm – you will live, walk, work in power and enjoy the freedom, peace and joy that comes as a result.

The mistake is that often people think that by doing stuff everything works out fine. We have to look at the cause of the action. When God is the cause behind what you do you live powerfully.

I didn’t intend to make it sound like mental gymnastics.

Remember that this site is about stilling yourself in God’s presence to communicate with God. It isn’t enough to just make up a better story in this moment about your situation. As you probably know that may not last until the next moment – which isn’t very long.

When the mind is renewed it’s a shift or a change. It’s seeing differently and you wonder why you never saw it that way before because it seems so obvious now.

Hope this helps.

I’ll be a bit black and white or here: As it is how you describe it, then it s all up to you and me and not to God.
Sort of a psychological thing. It all depedns on how you look at situations persons or things. That that is what changes it. Like God can’t or wont do anythign unless you look different at it.
Let’s say i am able to do that. Then at the moment I’m able to look at it different, it wont be a problem or whatever, and God doesn’ t need to do anythign anymore. Because it s not a problem/pain/search/whatever anymore.

So that would mean it s just all mental handeling.
So then where does that leave God or His promises or what is His part.

So does God even do something himself. Or is it after all is said and done like lot of people believe: God loves you but you have to help yourself.

(i mean if all that matters is on how we look at things.)

Summarized, I think maybe in other words a lot of people have this basic question: If it depends on how look at it, then what is Gods actually doing?

Good to hear from you again!

We may be talking or typing about two different things – although there is a relationsihp.

You ask: How don’t you do it anymore. So that a person is truly able to let go?

Letting go isn’t a matter of physically doing anything. It’s an internal belief shift. So what you’re actually doing is recognizing that the attitude you hold about a person, thing or situation is the problem – not the person, thing or situation.

Once you recognize this truth then you can begin to free yourself from the attachments that go along with that idea. You see, you can change the way you think and feel.

If you have a situation in your life that you need to experience some freedom in, take a look at the thoughts and feelings you have around that person or situation. Believe it or not but there is another way to look at it. This may not be immediately obvious – especially if you’ve been stuck there a long time – but there is a way to think and feel that will bring you freedom.

Letting go is letting go of the old ways of thinking and feeling that have been so burdensome for so long. Letting God is having faith that what God has done (even in the situation that you’ve looked at for so long as being bad, wrong or terrible) is actually just as it should be.

Does this help?

This is a huge topic and volumes could be and have been written – so if we can work it out in a few little comments we’re really doing something!!!

But how do you do it, or since it’s a matter of letting go: How don’t you do it anymore. So that a person is truly able to let go?

You know what I’m getting at, right? Without me explaining what i mean.
