Poem Analysis: Let It Go

Decent Essays
Let it go – one day at a time, cherish the moment – more will come. Be at peace, trust me, do what I say when I say it, don’t delay but, go forth in victory and song.

Pray – never stop praying. Your armor is strong, but your mind is weak and you step easily into the ways and thoughts of the world. You must trust me and put the things of this world down and step out in faith. Sometimes the ice will seem thin, sometimes you will slip and fall, but I will always be there to catch you and I will always use it for my glory.
This is the way I teach. I watch when you are ready and reveal more. When you are struggling to grasp my ways I give you time to learn and accept that
