Is it possible to release all of ourselves and our fears to God? This is a question that has weighed heavily on my mind lately. It seems that every part of me wants to surrender "everything" to Him, but I find myself wanting to take back the control I initially and wholeheartedly wanted to give away. Why is this? Can I truly give away all of my control to Christ? Is is really possible to let Him have every part of me? If so, then why have I not?
There are sometimes those days, who am I kidding, there are always those days when I desperately seek to flood Him with my drudgeries. My daily struggles seem to drown me in my focus...His plan. So how do I overcome this? How do I relieve myself so that I can focus on His plan? I find in His word:
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8
I know that God's plan for me is to prosper in His Glory and share His Grace with the world.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all." Mark 16:15
So, if I believe that God's word is without blemish, and He is faithful in all He says, then where is my faith? Where is my focus?
God, I know that You have planned every moment of my life from the beginning to end. There's nothing inside me that questions that You are sovereign. Give me an unparalleled faith so that I can surrender not just tidbits of my life, but a "total surrender"; a surrender that declares that I trust You with every part of my life, from the smallest detail to the greatest portion. Let me never question Your love me or Your power in taking care of my struggles. I know You are here; I know it is possible to give You all control. I pray You give me the desire to release to You...a TOTAL SURRENDER. Amen.
