Sometimes we as people try to hold on to things that we need to let go of. Those things could be so comfortable to us that we feel a sense of security when we have it and a lot of times it's a distraction which also hinders us from those priorites that should be FIRST(#1). I sometimes find myself in that particular situation and I'm trying to learn how to let go. Fasting and praying is what keeps me going strong. Without God in my life, I would be lost and He needs to be my first priority. God is a jealous God and if we put "things" or even "people" before him then we are no longer worthy of the blessings that God has set aside just for us.
