Let Go And Let God

Too often, we hear people say, “What’s the point of praying? The Lord doesn’t pay any attention to me.” Or “I don’t pray—it’s a waste of time because my prayers fall on deaf ears. ” Here’s the shocking truth: they’re right—at least in part. Why? Because they don’t truly understand what prayer is, how it works, or how to pray the way God intended. In this episode, Art Suriano explains how simple and powerful prayer can be when we approach it with the right heart and understanding. Learn how to have your prayers heard, discover the difference between asking and demanding, and experience how prayer can transform your relationship with God. “The Lord Does Hear Our Prayers”—when we learn to pray as He taught us to.

How many times have we heard someone say—or perhaps said ourselves—“that person is so lucky”? It’s easy to feel jealous when we see others with the job, home, car, or lifestyle we wish we had. But jealousy is not the answer, nor is it the way we are called to live as Christians. In this episode of Let Go and Let God, host Art Suriano reminds us that Scripture teaches our lives are not defined by possessions or wealth, but by how we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and follow God’s commands. Tune in as Art explains why we should let go of jealousy, embrace gratitude, and appreciate the blessings the Lord has already given us. Discover how a heart of thankfulness leads to greater peace, deeper joy, and freedom from comparisons. Understand why,as Christians, “There Is No Room For Jealousy.”

Each of us has been blessed by the Lord with unique talents and qualities, yet we all carry things about ourselves we may not love. These shortcomings are part of who we are—and learning to embrace them is essential to living in God’s truth. In this episode of Let Go and Let God,host Art Suriano shares the principle of“Accepting Who We Are.”As Christians, we are called to see ourselves as God sees us: His beloved children, created with purpose.

With Art as your guide, you’ll explore how truly accepting who we are in Christ opens the door to renewed joy, confidence, and thankfulness.

It can be fun to watch sci-fi movies about time travel or films like Back to the Future, but the truth is, we cannot go back in time. More importantly, we can’t undo or relive parts of our past, no matter how much we might want to. When we can’t accept the present because of something we did that we regret or something that happened to us that we can't get over, we are living in the past, and that is not what our Lord wants for any of us.

We all go through moments of loneliness in our lives. Some may enjoy solitude, while others, ifleft alone too long, could feel depressed. When we feel lonely, we have a choice.

When Jesus walked the earth over 2000 years ago, he performed numerous miracles and died for us on the cross. Many of the miracles he performed were done intentionally without any fanfare. In fact, Jesus often wanted the miracles he performed to be kept secret. When he died on the cross, we all know that as the Son of God, he could have prevented it at any time, but he chose not to. Why? Because Jesus’ purpose was to demonstrate just enough here on earth to give us all a choice. Do we believe in him or not?

We all encounter people who only care about themselves. Their main concern is what they need, what they want, who did this to them, who said this to them, and so on. There is no room in the Christian community for someone acting like that. Most of us do not usually behave that way, but sometimes we focus too much on ourselves. When that happens, we need to remember “It’s Not About Me.” Tune in to this episode of “Let Go and Let God,” and let Art explain why it is wrong to think of ourselves first and show why Christians must prioritize the needs of others. Listen to this episode to learn how to balance taking care of ourselves without neglecting those around us.

When we hear the word ‘revenge,’ most of us don’t realize that the desire to seek it often comes from the devil. It starts when we let our tempers flare after someone has hurt us in some way. Tune into this episode of “Let Go and Let God” and let Art explain how, as Christians, instead of giving in to our anger, we need to pause, take a breath, and ask ourselves, “What would Jesus do?” Listen to this episode and learn how to avoid the urge for revenge because the Lord is there to help us control our emotions and, when we allow Him to, live more peacefully by avoiding losing our temper and seeking revenge against others

As humans, one of the most powerful emotions we experience is doubt. Doubt often seeps into our faith, causing it to weaken as we lose confidence in what we believe. The issue is not having doubts, because that is natural. The real question is, what do we do about them?

Learn how to avoid dwelling on our doubts and instead focus on turning them into stronger faith.

As Christians, we need to practice what we preach. It’s easy to say we’re Christian, go to church, and receive the sacraments, but doing those things doesn’t matter if we don’t act like Christians. Engaging in gossip, not helping someone in need when we have the chance, not being generous, being unkind to others, and criticizing or judging others are not Christian behaviors. Tune in to this episode of “Let Go and Let God,” and let Art explain why we must “be” Christians at all times and why it’s important. Listen to this episode and discover what it truly means to be a Christian and the rewards that come with following God's laws and commands.
