Paul McCartney said the song came from a dream in which his late mother, Mary, told him to let it be. Most of us hear something bigger. With the Beatles falling apart around him, Paul sat at a piano and preached the simplest sermon there is: stop fighting what you can’t fix, and wait for the light. That’s surrender, and surrender is where recovery starts. I’ve tried running my own life on sheer willpower. The results were about what you’d expect. Words of wisdom, indeed. Let it be, and let Him be God.
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
