“Throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And run with endurance the race set before you.” — Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)

Key word: THROW OFF. Not ease out of it. Not talk about it. Not process it slowly. Throw it. Like it’s on fire. Like it’s killing your momentum.

This verse gives you permission to cut ties, get aggressive, and move forward without apology. It says what you’re saying: “This thing doesn’t get to run my life anymore.”

LETTING GO

Some things are too heavy to carry into the next chapter of your life. Some people are too tied to your past to be part of your future. And some wounds will only heal when you finally let them breathe in the light of God’s truth.

Letting go doesn’t mean you stop caring It means you start trusting Trusting that God saw what you didn’t And is leading you toward something better

Too often we grip what broke us We replay the betrayal We argue with the silence We imagine how it could have gone But healing doesn’t live in “what ifs” Healing lives in surrender

You can’t be ALTARed if you’re still anchored You can’t lead strong if you’re still leaking

Letting go is not weakness It’s wisdom It’s obedience It’s faith that says “God, I’m done trying to fix what only You can redeem”

Let it go. Not because they deserve it But because you deserve peace

God’s hands can’t move freely in your life while yours are clenched in bitterness

3 Steps to Let Go Like a Warrior of God

1. Clear the Scene Remove every visible tie to what’s keeping you stuck.

🔷Throw away the keepsakes, gifts, letters, or digital photos from toxic relationships.

🔷Archive old conversations, screenshots, or messages that feed resentment or replay the pain.

🔷Change the playlist, block the contact, and shift the atmosphere of your space. Letting go begins with environment. Tear down the altar to your old life.

2. Replace the Routine Disrupt the cycle by creating a new one. Letting go requires new daily patterns.

🔷Start your mornings with scripture and sweat: Read, then walk, lift, or move your body. Action anchors change.

🔷Schedule a weekly check-in with a godly friend or mentor. Say this: “If I talk about the past again, call me out. Don’t let me spiral.”

🔷Every time the memory hits, say this out loud: “That’s over. I’m under new management now.” Repetition is how strongholds break. Discipline is how freedom holds.

3. Confront the Grip Put yourself in a position where holding on costs you something real today.

🔷Pick up the phone and make the call you’ve been avoiding. Say what needs to be said, then hang it up and walk away.

🔷Drive to the place that hurt you, sit there, and say out loud: “This place no longer owns me.” Then leave and never go back.

🔷Delete the number in front of a brother who will hold you to it. Let him watch. Let him ask you next week if it’s still gone.

🔷If it’s an addiction or toxic habit, cancel the subscription, close the account, throw it in the trash and send the proof to someone who’ll keep you honest.

This isn’t emotional closure This is war And war takes action

You can’t step into freedom if you won’t confront what’s keeping you bound.

If it’s still hurting, it’s still healing. But healing begins with letting go.

No More Nails, What held me does not hold me.
