100 Affirmations for Letting Go and Trusting the Universe
There’s a moment between holding on and moving forward — that quiet, uncertain space where life asks us to trust what we can’t yet see…
Letting go isn’t easy; it’s uncomfortable, emotional, and sometimes lonely. But it’s also one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves.
When we learn to let go, we make room for peace. When we trust the universe, we begin to believe that even when things fall apart, they’re still falling into place.
These affirmations are gentle reminders from God to release what’s no longer yours to carry—whether it’s an ended relationship, the need to please everyone, or old dreams that no longer fit who you’re becoming. It’s time to let go, surrender control, and trust that the universe (and your faith) are guiding you toward something better—even if you can’t see it yet.
Letting go is never easy. If you’re trying to release something in your life right now, check out 11 Ways to Focus on the Good When Life Feels Hard.
