Trust looks like this: letting go, releasing expectations, and watching life unfold with grace.
The Trust Experiment: Letting Go, Letting God, and Finally Allowing Life to Flow
Why Is It So Hard to Let Go?
We all struggle with trust—some of us more than others. How many times have you heard the phrase, “Let go and let God?” And how many times have you tried to do just that, only to realize later that you were still clinging to control?
Nothing truly shifts until we actually surrender. The moment we release the grip of our own expectations and allow, things begin to flow. But what if this entire lifetime is just one big alchemical experiment—designed to show us, over and over, that the Universe and God actually want what’s in our highest good?
Lately, I’ve realized this might be the truth.
Learning Trust from a Baby
This week, I’ve been visiting my three-month-old granddaughter, and honestly? Babies are the perfect metaphor for trust.
- When she’s hungry, milk appears.
- When she’s uncomfortable, someone changes her.
- When she’s tired, she is gently rocked to sleep.
She doesn’t stress about whether she’ll be fed or if someone will meet her needs. She doesn’t try to control the situation. She simply trusts.
We’ve all been told, “To enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we must become like little children.” But somewhere along the way, we lost that trust. We began believing we had to hustle, struggle, and force things into existence rather than simply allowing them to unfold.
Trusting the Universe vs. Trying to Control Everything
Most of what we’re taught about conscious creation tells us to visualize, affirm, and act like we already have what we desire. And yes—that’s part of the process. But what if the Universe actually knows better than we do?
What if everything you’ve ever wanted is waiting for you, but it’s being delayed because you keep micromanaging the outcome?
What if the only thing standing between you and your highest good is…you?
A Real Trust Experiment—Will You Try It?
This week, I challenge you to fully let go. Not just say you’re letting go while secretly worrying and plotting backup plans. Actually surrender.
📌 Here’s how:
- Stop forcing. Release your grip on outcomes and let things unfold naturally.
- Trust that your needs will be met. Just like my granddaughter knows her milk is coming, believe that the Universe has your back.
- Pay attention to what happens. When you let go, you make space for better things to arrive—things you couldn’t have planned even if you tried.
Give it a shot. Try it for a day, a week, a month. You might just be surprised at what happens when you stop resisting and start allowing.
