If you see someone struggling with letting go of a situation, pray with/for them- Toke Makinwa Toke Makinwa took to her page to share some powerful words about letting go when something doesn't work out in our lives. Read what she wrote:   We've all been hurt, some more than others. We've all been let down, some bounce back quicker than others. We are all Human. If you see someone struggling with letting go of a situation, pray with/for them. Sometimes all they need is time to get there on their own. Don't be mean, don't play judge, don't talk down at them, don't act like you are better than them, don't get irritated, don't use their life for gist. Remember that you too were once where they are now, you too once loved someone who didn't love you back and you took your time. Even when they make silly decisions or stumble and fall, keep showing them the light, Be kind.👌👌👌
