When Loving Them is Hurting You—Finding Strength to Let Go

There is nothing you can do to make the wrong person become the right person for you. Remember that we discussed deal breakers in day three of this devotion.

Many times individuals find it hard, difficult, and painful to let go of someone that they know is not good for them or their future. Often times, it’s because of the emotional tie between the two of them. It could also be because of physical lines that were crossed in the relationship, including pre-marital sex resulting in soul ties.

Whatever the cause, this is when you will have to reach out to your accountability partner for help, guidance, and prayer. Everything in you will say, “Let go,” but for someone reason, you will try to hang on and wait for the other person to change. 

This will eventually become a repeated cycle in your relationship that will only leave you hurt and wounded on a continual basis. You need someone in your corner to help you make this difficult decision.

You must give this situation to God and trust that He will guide you in this painful process of letting go and heal your hurting heart and also comfort the other person involved.
