Letting go isn’t easy — and sometimes it feels like healing takes forever. In this tender entry, Liv opens up about the sacred, messy, and very human process of release. She reflects on how we replay conversations, cling to questions, and carry weight we were never meant to hold — believing that if we let go, it means it didn’t matter.

But what if letting go doesn’t mean forgetting? What if it simply means giving the pain back to the One who can hold it?

This is a gentle invitation to slow down, unclench your hands, and trust God with what still hurts. Because the slow work of letting go is also the slow work of becoming free.

• Why letting go doesn’t erase the story
• How to trust God with what you can’t carry anymore
• The difference between release and forgetting
• Why healing is slow, sacred, and never linear

📖 Psalm 34:18 (AMP) — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
📖 Psalm 147:3 (AMP) — “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
📖 Matthew 11:28 (NLT) — “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

Sis, healing takes time. And sometimes, you lay it down in prayer only to pick it up again by morning. That’s not failure — that’s being human. God doesn’t sigh when you struggle to release; He simply opens His hands again, as many times as it takes.

Letting go is not about minimizing your pain — it’s about making room for peace, for rest, and for what God has next.

• Letting go doesn’t erase what happened — it redefines how it lives in you.
• Healing unfolds one release at a time.
• God is not frustrated by your process; He’s faithful in it.
• Freedom begins when we stop clutching what hurts.

Sis, if you’ve been clinging to something that feels too heavy to set down, hear this: You don’t have to carry it another day. Take a breath. Lay it down, even if it’s only for a moment. And when you reach back for it — because you will — God’s hands will still be there, steady and open.

You’re not falling apart. You’re falling into place.

• What am I still holding that’s keeping me from peace?
• What would it look like to trust God with this?
• How is He reminding me that healing is slow, but sure?

“Father, I release what I’ve been holding. Not because it didn’t matter, but because I matter to You. Hold my heart steady as I learn to trust Your timing. Heal what’s broken, and help me find freedom in surrender. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
