Let go and Let God by Dr Rachel Nevhutanda

Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, *let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up*; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us. Hebrews 12:1 TLB
