Surrender: Definition – to give oneself up into the power of another.
The picture we usually have in our minds when we think of the word surrender is the white flag of one side in a battle, surrendering to the other, with the likelihood of unpleasant consequences like imprisonment, or execution.
However, I believe surrendering is what God is really asking of us. He is asking for us to give ourselves up to his power, but different from surrendering to our enemy, we are giving ourselves up to someone who loves us and wants what is best for us.
Psalm 37:7 God’s Word translation writes, “Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him.”
Dear Lord, You are the ultimate power and love. Surrendering ourselves to you gives us great comfort and strength. Help us keep that in our minds so we will have the strength to do your will and the comfort of knowing that you have us in your care. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
It is just what i needed 2 day. I’ve bern struggling with a few things n I know now if I SURRENDER them 2 JESUS he will c me through
Surrender to God Almighty is the only answer. We have no hope otherwise. We give our lives up to Him. All of it because we belong to Him who ransomed us. Amen!
It’s a lot easier to say we are Christians that to live it. Living it is hard and getting harder.
It’s like the Lord is saying to His flock, what say you! Are we for Him or against Him. We cannot serve two masters.
What will we say when we stand before Him? The thought of this should put fear in all of us and the Bible does say, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs 9:10
