“It is what it is”
Janine, my child, “it is what it is” is the language you use to accept what you cannot change within yourself or the outside world. To give to Jesus all of your burdens and frets is to acknowledge that there are those things that you cannot change, but Jesus can. When you use the words it is what it is, you are saying it cannot be changed and that is not of the truth for with Jesus all things are possible. Yes, it is what it is when someone dies and you cannot resurrect them, but Jesus can and does. When you say it is what it is, remember to also say it is what it is dear Jesus but with you all things are possible. Then you can let it go and give it to Jesus for with Jesus all things are possible. Joy comes from the words, it is what it is, dear Jesus, but with you all things are possible. This is the way of deep prayer, Janine, for you give all to God in this way.
