On the 4th of July, we celebrate our Independence, but today take a moment and celebrate your dependence day. Dependence day is the day when you quit holding on to the things you have no control over and give them to God.

Struggling with someone? Give them to God. Struggling with something? Give it to God. Take care of what you can and trust God with what you can’t.

Continued struggles lead to frustration. Frustration leads to anger. Anger is a sin of the flesh and when we live in the flesh we grieve the Holy Spirit.

So, if you have not already done so let today be the day that you let go of what you have been holding on to and give them to God. Do your best, trust God with the rest and celebrate your dependence day.
