Mastering Detachment: Five Steps to Let Go and Trust God's Plan

hey everyone welcome back to my channel and today we're diving into something very important which is mastering

Detachment now I know that mastering Detachment is something that a lot of us struggle with including myself in the

past especially when it comes to relationships dreams or career plans and the key to this is letting God take

control let's start by diving into what is Detachment it's not about giving up or caring less Detachment is all about

releasing control so releasing control to people to things to events circumstances and letting God take the

lead and trusting fully in his plan it's about understanding that your worth or your peace don't come from these outside

things and I'm actually going to quote the Bible do not love the world or anything in the world if anyone loves

the world love for the father is not in them and this is extremely powerful um God is literally telling us to let go of

our attachment to everything in the outside world and to bring that attachment to him instead Detachment is

about keeping your hands open to all of the blessings that God can give you himself instead of Clinging On to things

that you are afraid to lose and let's be real Detachment is hard because we're human We crave control and it's totally

valid and normal we want to hold on to people places things jobs circumstances or even identities that we think Define

us but here's the thing when we cling on to that to tightly we're operating out of fear not out of Faith Isaiah 41:10

reminds us that do not fear for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God you're not losing when you let

go you're making room for God to work in so many ways that are more powerful than you can imagine so now I'm going to get

into the five steps that you can take to master Detachment and the first one is to really acknowledge your attachments

what are you holding on to you can Journal about this to really clarify but you have to be self-aware to even start

making changes so I need you to really have an honest conversation with yourself and identify the things in your

life that you're craving control over now step number two to master Detachment is to surrender to God so I need you to

pray about it and really pray take time out of your day to talk to God about what you are trying to overcome when it

comes to your attachment you can tell him things like like you know God if it's meant for me I trust that you will

bring it to my life in the right time and I also tell myself that everything that is meant for me not a soul can take

from me God has a plan for each and every one of us and it's not even about like competing with people because

they're in their own Lanes you're in your own lane what is meant for you will always come find you and that really

helps with mastering Detachment when you think about life this way step number three is to set some boundaries girls

because sometimes Detachment requires physical boundaries and emotional boundaries you can't detach from

something that you're constantly exposed to if that makes sense like if you're always feeding something feeding it with

your energy your time your space like for example a toxic relationship while it's a master Detachment from it you're

going to have to take some steps back put some boundaries into place to really be able to um heal from it and to move

on and to see it from a healthier lens step number four which is my favorite is to practice gratitude gratitude is so

incredibly powerful and it always makes me realize how God is good gratitude really shifts your focus from lack to

abundance because usually when we are trying so hard to cling on to things is because we're coming from a place of

need from a place of lack from a place of not having but when we realize how much we have how abundant we are we

realize that we don't need any except from God's love and our own love of course and the funny thing is with this

is that needing nothing gives you everything Detachment is how you're able to receive everything that you're

destined for and the last step number five is to wait on God Detachment doesn't mean you're giving up and just

you know going to sit on your couch all day and wait for miracles to happen in your life no it's about waiting for God

to bring the blessing and to tell you that this time timing is going to be the right one because we have to trust his

plan we don't know the full picture you know we have no idea what the future holds for us what God has designed for

our life and so why would we trust the world why would we trust ourselves because we have no idea what the full

picture is but God does God knows exactly what's going to happen and how it will happen so sometimes we have to

trust that if there's a certain door that closes or a person that leaves your life or any type of situation makes you

uncomfortable and you have to really adjust and surrender to change remember that it's all happening for a reason and

God does not give you things that you cannot handle everything is there in your life for a purpose for you to grow

for you to develop your character and for you to become a better person and I want to remind you too like sometimes

people ask me you know why if God is so good why do good people get difficult Lives why do good people have to go

through difficult situations and there's this saying that says you know I asked for strength so God gave me

difficult situations to learn from and to become strong I asked for love so God gave me people that were

broken that I would be able to love so sometimes you pray for things you pray for circumstances and God does not give

you right away the gift or the blessing but he gives you experiences that help you become the version of yourself who

can receive that I want to dive quickly into relationships because I know this is a really big one Detachment doesn't

mean shutting yourself off from love or turning off your emotions it is very far from this actually Detachment in love

means loving someone without the desire to control them or you know determine who they are as their own person because

they are a separate entity that has their own life plan and purpose and you are a separate entity that is supposed

to love them and and and give them energy and love and appreciation but not try to imprison them or like control

their life right and a lot of people or toxic relationships nowadays it's all about control 1 Corinthians 13:4 and 5

tells us love is patient love is kind it does not dishonor others it is not self-seeking and when we attach

ourselves to people it is out of fear of losing them usually and we're not loving them the way that God wants us to love

them I have struggled with Detachment myself actually and I've gotten so much better at releasing the need to control

outcomes but I will talk to you a little bit about my experience I have had a pattern before of Clinging On too

tightly to certain outcomes of situations or expectations I had about people acting certain ways or you know

offering the love that I would give them in return like my expectations were of course very high but also reasonable but

I've had to learn that sometimes you know when you cling on too tightly to certain situations or plans you are

blocking your blessings because a lot of the time those situations happen because they're orchestrated by God he wants you

to see what happens behind doors that you're not able to see in real time he wants you to understand what he knows

and what he has for you in store might not be what you imagined every single time that I've had to let go and give it

to God he has showed me that he has always showed up for me it's like a father that

is there for you when you're sad you're afraid he is your protector and your provider and one of the hardest lessons

that I have had to learn was to trust God's no and yes he will say no to us a lot or maybe he will say not yet or not

this I have something better there are multiple ways that God communicates with us and you can look for these signs in

your daily life when you feel that resistance or when you feel like those weird gut feelings that is God

communicating to you like girl this is not it I have so much better for you it might be God telling you something is

better and when you're so attached you will ignore your got feeling you will ignore messages from God you will ignore

God's voice because you're holding on to the world so much situations people's jobs things instead of holding on to

God's blessings that are coming for you and his BL it's Detachment is once again it's not about shutting off yourself and

not experiencing a wide range of emotions it's not that at all because I want you to feel I want you to be

emotional especially as a woman it's important to honor your emotions and to lift them what I'm saying about

Detachment is about releasing the need to control releasing the need to hyperfocus on situations and like do

everything in your power to do it when God is clearly pulling you away sometime God's timing is always perfect because

he knows the full story he knows the whole plan he created it so of course why not trust him but sometimes we get

stubborn as humans and we think that our way is the better way but it really isn't I have talked to you about the

five steps to master Detachment but I also want to add in some little exercises that you can do to keep you

accountable when it comes to mastering Detachment the first one is to pray of course we all know this but I really

mean it praying and reading your Bible is important because reading God's word it's you know refreshing your energy

with his energy and you are reminding yourself that he is the ultimate power he has control and he is dealing with

everything behind closed doors so reading the Bible and praying is important to master Detachment the next

thing is to also look up some scriptures like for example if you're feeling anxiety if you're feeling like you're

struggling so much with wanting a certain outcome that it's in inducing some anxiety you can look up scripture

affirmations for anxiety so for example you can repeat yourself verses like Philippians 4: 6 and 7 which is do not

be anxious about anything and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and

minds and those types of affirmations are super helpful because it's like easy to repeat and easy to remind yourself of

it and God has control it's an amazing reminder and the last tip is visualization but specifically visualize

yourself giving all of your worries to God like for example bottle it up in a bottle in your mind and visualize

yourself walking up to God and Jesus and saying you know what I trust you I'm giving you all of my worries and then

you're going to walk away you're going to visualize yourself turning around and walking away and saying thank you for

taking care of this for me now I can leave in peace and trust your plan and I do this Vis visualization every time

that I'm struggling or having a difficult time with my life and it's truly

transformative Detachment is not about losing anything or you know being Reckless no it's about giving God all of

your worries all of your anxieties and trusting his plan it's about being open and adjustable and being able to shift

in any direction when he brings new blessings in your life or when he takes away experiences that are not meant for

you Detachment is a you know it's a journey it's not a destination but when you really learn how to trust God and

give him all of your worries you developed such a strong connection with him who created you if this video
