Welcome to 365 Days of Courage, Strength, and Faith. I'm Jim Hannes. Thank you for allowing me to spend a few moments with you today. No matter where this episode finds you, whether you're beginning your morning, driving to work, taking a walk, or simply searching for a little encouragement, I believe God has something He wants to remind you of today. My prayer is that these next few minutes will strengthen your faith, renew your courage, and remind you that you never face life alone. Before we begin, take one slow deep breath. Breathe in God's peace and slowly breathe out every worry you've been carrying. Again, breathe in God's presence and exhale out every fear. Let's quiet our hearts together as we turn our attention to God's Word. The scripture for day two hundred and eight is Psalm thirty seven verse five. Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Surrender is not giving up, it is giving over, giving over our plans, giving over our fears, giving over our need to understand everything. Many battles continue because we refuse to release them, yet peace often enters the moment we finally say, Lord, I trust you. There is freedom and surrender. There is rest in surrender, and there is peace and surrender. Let's take a moment and breathe in. Lord, I surrender. And as we exhale, I trust you completely. Inhale, Lord, I surrender. Exhale, I trust you completely. Do that again. Inhale, Lord, I surrender. Exhale, I trust you completely. Today's affirmation, I am learning surrender. I am growing in trust. I am supported by God. I am safe in His care. Peace is filling my heart. Today's declaration. Today I release control. I release fear. I release striving, and I will walk forward in peace. Today's reflection question. What would surrender look like in your current situation? Let's pray. Father, teach me the freedom of surrender. Help me trust you fully and rest in your faithful care. Amen. Today's Courage Challenge offer one unresolved situation completely to God in prayer. Thank you for joining me today for another episode of three hundred and sixty five days of courage, strength, and faith. If today's message has encouraged your heart, consider sharing it with someone who may need this same reminder today. And as you go, remember this. God has not called you to live in fear. He has called you to walk by faith, one step at a time, one promise at a time, one day at a time. Until tomorrow, keep your eyes on Jesus, stand firm in his promises, and walk boldly in his strength. And never forget, the God who walks with you today is already waiting in your tomorrow. God bless you, my friend. I'll meet you again tomorrow for another episode of 365 Days of Courage, Strength, and Faith.
