How To Let Go And Get Healed

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Happy weekend to you all. Today, we continue from where we stopped yesterday on letting go. If you missed yesterday’s article, you can catch up here

1. Recognize the tie.

It starts with honesty. You can’t break free from something you won’t admit exists. So what’s pulling your heart back? Is it how they made you feel? The what-could-have-beens? The fear of having to start over?

Being honest about it isn’t weakness; it’s clarity. And that clarity is where healing begins.

“Search me, God, and know my heart… see if there’s any offensive way in me.” – Psalm 139:23–24

2. Ask God to break that bond.

Emotional ties can feel spiritual, and sometimes they are. But even those deep connections can be severed when you bring them to God.

You might not feel ready, but you can still pray:

“Lord, I know this isn’t healthy for me. Help me to let it go.” Let God handle what you can’t. Nothing is too small or too complicated for Him to heal.

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36

3. Fill up that space you’ll be leaving behind.

Letting go creates a void—emotionally and sometimes spiritually. And that void wants to be filled. If you don’t intentionally fill that void with truth, purpose, and God’s presence, something else will take over—old habits or new distractions.

Stay close to God. Read the Bible. Talk to someone you trust. Serve God in your local Church and stay committed . The goal isn’t just to “move on”—it’s to become whole again.

“When an impure spirit leaves… it comes back to find the house empty…” – Matthew 12:43–45 (paraphrased)

4. Don’t forget to forgive.

Forgive the other person—even if you never got closure. Forgive yourself for ignoring the signs, for hanging on too long, or for giving your heart away too easily.

And if you’ve been quietly frustrated with God, let that go too. It’s perfectly okay to feel disappointed or confused; just bring those feelings into the light. God can handle it.

Forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened; it’s about freeing your soul to heal.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32

5. And finally, stay surrendered.

Healing isn’t just a one-off event; it’s often a daily choice.

Even after you let go, the memories might stick around. The emotions might pop back up. But that doesn’t mean you’re not healing—it just means you have to keep surrendering.

Ask God daily for the grace to trust His plan and resist the urge to go back to what you’ve already released.

Let your healing go deeper than your need for answers. Let your wholeness mean more than your desire for control.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5–6

In conclusion

It’s okay to mourn the loss. It’s okay to miss what could’ve been. But don’t be stuck there forever.

God has more in store for you—not just another person, but peace, clarity, and a kind of love that doesn’t come with confusion. Letting go isn’t the end; sometimes, it’s the kindest thing you can do for yourself and your future.
