"Let go and let God." This is one of those extra-biblical injunctions I've heard on more than one occasion. I, for one, am not particularly fond of it. But I know that some people reflect on it a lot and find it quite meaningful in their lives. What does "Let go and let God" mean to you? Peace, Richard

It means to me that the person saying it has probably been involved in
a twelve-step program.

That phrase has "been around" for many more years than the 12-step
program has been well-known. It used to be used a lot in evangelistic
meetings where it meant, basically, to let go of sin, let go of trying
to be good on your own, let go of anything that is between you and God,
and let God have God's way with you, your heart, and your life.
It is also helpful in terms of letting go of anxiety and stress and
letting God be your focus. "Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed on thee."

To me it means that regardless of how much I try to affect my life
ultimately I have no more power than God gives me. I find that if I
align my spirit with God and let go of whatever my issue dujour is, it
usually takes care of itself without all of the struggle I would normally
associate with it.
