It's an interesting thing to do, this "letting go". part of me wants to hold onto myself with all I got out of fear, but my heart is like, Jesus has got you bro, just fall back into his arms. I wrestle with this every day as I'm sure most others do at some point. all the little nuances of life tugging at your thoughts, and feelings. as the world tries to suck me back into its grasp. Realistically it's nothing major, just the normal daily tasks and challenges, but when looking at it from a spiritual perspective, and warfare world view it makes me re-examine things a little closer.
For instance, when I get lazy and neglect some things it's not "the devil" that's making me not do it, I'm making the choice, but the question I ask myself is; "Am I not doing whatever it is, because I'm getting lied to into thinking there's something better in not doing it?" or am I just being apathetic. So in my growing process as of late, I've been submitting these things more & more, and it's surprising to me how much better I feel when I pray, then take care of whatever it is I need to do.
Also, I'm growing in respect to my work ethic because it's much much easier to work as if you are doing it directly for the Lord, than if your just doing it for your own personal gain. but at the same time, keeping Christ at the center of all your work, and then when leaving to return home or wherever, keeping him at the center throughout the commute (if there is one) and into the leisure & personal time.
Oh well, just another few cents from yours truly...
God Bless
