Dear God, Give Me The Strength To Let Go Of What’s Not Meant For Me

Dear God,

Please give me the strength to let go of what isn’t meant for me. Do not let me get attached to someone or something that will sooner or later be taken away from me.

I don’t know what You have in store for me. But, until You reveal your plans to me, please don’t make things hard for me.

I am counting on your guidance. Please always be there to guide me. Do not let me hold on to people that I will need to let go of eventually. Do not allow me to fight for someone who is not meant to stay in my life forever. Don’t let me love someone who will tear my heart and shatter my hopes.  

Do not let my heart trick me into longing for things that I don’t really need. Do not let my mind think about people who don’t think about me. Do not let my soul care about people who couldn’t care less about me.

Do not let me fall in love with someone who won’t want to commit to me. Someone who won’t want to stay.

Please give me the strength to let go of those that are standing in the way of my happiness. Those that want to drag me down. Those that are only interested in taking advantage of me. Those that don’t deserve my kindness, my patience, and my respect. Those that don’t deserve even a second of my attention.  

Give me the strength to endure the problems I’m struggling with.

Help me be more grateful for the gifts You’ve been sending my way.  

Give me the faith I need to believe that everything will fall into place.

Give me the strength to let go of everything that is not meant for me. Give me the strength to let go of those that are meant to stay in my life for a limited amount of time.

Give me the strength to put an end to the relationships that are draining my energy and destroying my happiness. But, also give me the strength to forgive those who’ve done me wrong but who deserve my forgiveness.
