Let Go, Trust God, Become Who You Were Meant To Be

by Rebecca Simon

Let Go, Trust God, Become Who You Were Meant To Be is not a step-by-step guide to fixing your life—it’s a gentle companion for the seasons when nothing makes sense. In these pages, Rebecca Simon offers soulful reflections for anyone sitting in the in-between: between heartbreak and healing, between longing and fulfillment, between who you were and who you're becoming.

Written with softness and spiritual depth, this book is for those still praying for clarity, still carrying unanswered questions, still trying to hold it all together. It’s for the one learning to let go—not just of people, but of timelines, expectations, and everything that once defined their worth. With every chapter, you'll be reminded that you haven’t missed your moment, you haven’t been forgotten, and even now—especially now—God is still with you. You're not falling apart. You’re being remade.

I bought this book totally on an impulse after reading a quote from it, and it was such a beautiful experience. I couldn’t put it down, I just kept reading and reading, and every essay spoke to me like it was a divine message tailored just for me.

Anyone that is struggling with loss, self-worth issues, this book is absolutely going change your life and your relationships.

One of the sweetest books. I loved the essay format and the depth they each had that felt as if they were written just for you. So so good.

Definitely for the girls

This book is so beautifully written! I love how poetically it connects our relationships with God. It’s a great size to bring around with you too which was a bonus while traveling! Will be coming back to this book when I need some inspiration or a pick-me-up <3

Soul touching

It is rare to find a book that speaks to you on a soul level, provoking, thoughtful, insightful, truthful, enlightening, and needed. This book is the gentle truth you need to hear if your a deeply sensitive person, if your struggling, if you question God through everything you endure in life. Its as if the author reached into your life and pulled out the parts you never share with anyone. Its validation when you were never looking for it. Its grasping concepts for the empath that drive you crazy with questions of why you keep an open heart to those who dont see you. And its all written just for you. How she did it I have no idea, but it speaks loud. It makes you WANT to cry because it strikes a deep chord you knew existed, but didnt fully grasp. Its simple yet so unbelievably profound. And best of all, even with all this, its an easy read. Its perfection on a path towards better enlightenment and I hope it hits others readers as its hit me. Slow down, take in the words and enjoy the truth in them, its important.

I'm usually not a self-help book reader, but after seeing a few passages from Rebecca Simon's books about God on TikTok, I purchased both of them.

This is not one of those books that you should binge read, instead, I tried to savor the words throughout the weeks. I've never read any work where the description of feelings and perceptions of experiences has ever been this close to how I personally write in my own journals. I might even say that she not only speaks similarly to how I speak internally and on paper, but she does it even better. She truly uses the most beautiful and comprehensible terms about love, fear, faith, growth and God. I underlined so much, I truly related to the experiences she mentioned and felt understood.

I recommend this book to everyone, believers and non-believers of Jesus Christ.
And for the people with an open heart and genuine curiosity, this book truly captivates the love and purpose God has for you <3

Self-reflection and acceptance

When you're not listening to God, he will put people (in this case literature) in your life for you to get a wake up call. Everything in here touched on the things I've gone through in the last 18 years. Something cracked within me while reading this. Alignment is happening and surrender is given. Thanks to the author Rebecca for being a vessel for God and accepting the assignment.

This is the first book I have read from this publishing company, Thought Catalog Books, and I now plan to read more! It was uplifting, positive, and encouraging. It was a quick read, although one readers may return to more than once. I would recommend this title.

My jaw is on the floor. This is why books are written. The kind of book that comes at the right time to teach you in ways no video, conversation, or other digestible way can. Super grateful to have stumbled upon this one

[Madison Rauch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bought this book on a whim after seeing a page from it on TikTok. Absolutely loved it! It’s the kind of book that you have to digest everything you’re reading. I also feel that there is a chapter for everyone no matter what point you are at in life.

[Jacki Jenkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely wonderful book!

This book is exactly what I needed. It is a fairly quick read but take your time reading and absorbing what the author is telling you! Thank you! I really needed to read this book and will probably read it again!

Just what I needed.

[Sydney Pirtle · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really interesting book with insights that apply to so many situations. Several chapters really resonated with me, and it’s a great resource to revisit during different seasons of life.

[Virginia Appleton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a ‘cover to cover’ read as such, but something to dip into as and when. Some helpful food for thought.

[bananajo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have a lot of thoughts about this genre of books, but I'll just say that this book is full of gentle affirmations for a weary soul.
