A letting-go brings a letting-in
It's not that hard to get God to help you...
The Word tells us to "cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you..." (Psalm 55:22). This means that if we do the easy thing, He will do the hard thing. If we do something with our troubles, God will do something with our troubles. If we let go of the burden, God will let go of the blessing.
It's right to be responsible in life, but not to be burdened in life. Happily, there's no need to live that way any longer.
It may seem at times like the Lord is removed and indifferent to our problems, aloof even. It may seem like He's slow and no. But that's not really the case. When we feel that way, it's because we still have the burdens, and He doesn't. But if He has the burdens, then we don't. Once He has them, nice things happen to them or us. When you let go, you let in.
As Jesus said, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). When we do the small thing, He will do the big thing. Say no to burden and yes to blessing.
Every blessing,
