193 – What comes to  mind when you hear the phrase: surrender to God?

Is it something you're comfortable with? Or is it a something you've tried to do but not very successfully? Or maybe it's something you don't really think about that much?

This week, we're going to dive into this topic of surrendering to God

  • What does the word surrender actually mean?
  • What it means to surrender to God 
  • What should we surrender?
  • How to surrender to God
  • The best example in the Bible of someone who surrendered to God

Surrendering to God should be a quiet process between you and God and no one else. You don’t need to tell anyone else about it. You don’t need to announce it at church to show how spiritually minded you are or to impress anyone.

Let them see the changes that take place in the way you live your life.

If there is something in your life you need to surrender to God, or if you’ve realized you need to surrender your whole self to God’s purpose for your life instead of trying to force your own plans, I encourage you to set aside some time to ponder this deeply.

Go into your prayer closet. Be still. Ask God for help. Be quiet. Listen for God’s direction. And I would encourage you to write down everything God tells you. Put yourself at God’s disposal. Put your life completely in His hands. 

Thanks for listening.
