This is my most dangerous prayer yet.

To grow closer to God, you're going to have to let certain parts of you go.

You're going to have to kill off the parts of you that are weak and holding you back.

Here's 10 Things I'm Letting Go of Completely in 2025:👇

1. Let Go of People-Pleasing

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ."

-Galatians 1:10

2. Let Go of Anger

"In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."

 - Ephesians 4:26

3. Let Go of Fear

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

- 2 Timothy 1:7

4. Lustful Thoughts

"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

- Matthew 5:28

5. Let Go of Laziness

"The sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing."

- Proverbs 20:4

6. Let Go of Negative Self-Talk

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

- Psalm 139:14

7. Let Go of Control

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

- Proverbs 3:5-6

8. Let Go of Past Hurts

"Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

- Philippians 3:13-14

9. Let Go of Impatience

"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles."

- Isaiah 40:31

10. Let Go of Idolatry

"Dear children, keep yourselves from idols."

- 1 John 5:21
