Sometimes you have to just let go and let God

[Standing on business]

can someone explain to me what the phrase "let go and let God" means? I've seen that said quite a few times when people are going through things, but I don't fully understands what it means. Does it mean just forget about it and God will handle it or is just like a whatever statement.

from my understanding it means " don't keep worrying about the situation...let it work itself out" kinda like a washing your hands of something and saying whatever will be will be.

What you resist persists.
Ex. Some people want a great relationship but they hold on to this struggling relationship trying to make it work, or remain heartbroken when God/the Universe wants you to let go to make room for something even better.

Same with a career that doesn't serve you. You hate your job but continue to work hard for a promotion you really want, instead you get passed up for the promotion and laid off and start applying for a new job, your new job is even better. You needed to let go of your old job to make room for something better.

Or you are consistently worried about your kids that you shelter them, restrict them and do everything for them. But if you let go and allow your kids to make their own mistakes,they will learn to pick themselves up and be self-sufficient.

Just some shyt that was out of my control. Got in some shyt in HS and didn't have a license for a while but had to get to work to feed my family. Cobb County locked me up a few weeks before I'd have my license.

But you know who got me out? The person that told me to let God handle it...

Basically it means 'stop stressing'. When you're in a tough situation you basically do what you can but you don't let it stress you or beat you down. Of course like any phrase it can mean different things to different people but in terms of good doctrine its more about your mindset regarding hard times

It was my mom so I only pushed the issue so far. I brought it up in a round-about way though, on some sly comment type shyt. But she don't talk to me about religion anymore after that
