I Surrender to You Lord

My desire for control needs to die to God's desire to lead.

January 7

Several months ago I wrote A Prayer of surrender. I've been praying this prayer almost every morning since then. I Surrender my hopes and dreams, my marriage, my children honestly I Surrender anything that I'm struggling with, or that God brings to mind. This daily surrender has brought me so much peace. It keeps me in the present and reminds me His grace is sufficient for today. This daily surrender has a way of anchoring me. Connecting me to God and reminding me He is in control. I loosen the grip of control over my life and trust Him with the details. I still make plans. I still make my lists. I just trust God a little better with the flow. What I find is that as I Surrender peace comes. God meets me there. And he met me there this morning. I was tired, a little sad, and a little overwhelmed, and God reminded me that because I am made in His image, I have everything I need. Because I am Made In His Image I can do all things through Christ. His grace is sufficient for today. And as the day is coming to a close, His grace was sufficient for today. We only have today, and tomorrow is safely in my Father’s hands.
