SUBMIT - SURRENDER

A heart posture of surrender is essential to your journey with God. When you give your life to Him, you surrender yourself to Him. But as you continue to walk with God, surrender becomes an everyday choice. Each day, you face situations that can either lead you to try and control the situation or invite you to a posture of surrender. Whether it’s a new relationship, your finances, or the things you value, God gives you opportunities to let go and trust Him. Surrender simply means placing your cares at the feet of Jesus and trusting Him to meet every need. This act puts God in His rightful place in your life. When you trust His ways over your own and allow Him to work, you’ll find that surrender is far better than trying to navigate life in your own strength. In this unpredictable world, you might try to hold onto things that make you feel “safe.”, but when you surrender, you place your cares and control in the hands of the One who holds everything. Today, God may be inviting you to a fresh surrender. He may be asking you to lay down your cares, worries, and anxieties at the feet of Jesus and trust Him fully with your life. Take a moment to reflect—what are you holding onto, and why? Then, choose to give it to God and trust that He will take care of everything.

Application/ Reflection:

• What have you been holding onto that you need to give to God?
• How can you choose to surrender your life to God today and every day??
• Do you find surrender easy or hard for you? Why?

Prayer:

God, thank You for caring about our lives. You care about the little and the big details. Today, I choose to give my cares to You and I ask You to do whatever You want with my life, God. I give You a fresh surrender. I am sorry for trying to hold this weight on my own. Today, allow me to walk with a new confidence that my cares are cared for in Your hands. God, as I surrender, work on my heart and mind to trust You in everything I do. Thank You for being a good and caring God. I love You, in Jesus' name, Amen.
