“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

As we continue our exploration of surrendering to God’s will, let us delve further into releasing our desires and aligning our hearts with His divine plan. Surrender requires a willingness to surrender our own understanding and to trust in God’s wisdom, even when His path seems unclear or challenging. Remember, the directive to lean not on your own understanding embodies a resolute caution against the potential pitfalls of intellectual pride or self-reliance Proverbs 3:5-6).

Though, in moments of surrender, we often find ourselves facing doubts and fears. We question if surrendering means giving up control of our lives or forfeiting our dreams. But dear brethren, surrendering to God’s will is not surrendering our identity or dreams but an affirmation of our trust and faith in Him. Psalm 28:7 says, The Lord is my strength and shield, my rock and fortress. Just as a sturdy shield protects a warrior in battle, the Lord will protect and strengthen you through your struggles.

In surrender, we discover that God’s plan for us is far greater than anything we could ever imagine for ourselves. It is a call to let go of our limited vision and embrace His infinite wisdom. The process of surrender invites us to exchange our self-centered ambitions for His perfect purpose. Amen. Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Amen.
