Daily Surrender
Do you ever make a list of all your worries? Do you ever write down all the things that are on your mind, that are making you anxious, that are holding you back? Have you ever prayed over that list and then let God take the worry off your shoulders? It's the most special, rewarding and terrifying task. It creates a feeling of helplessness. It takes the control out of your own hand and puts it into Jesus'. It allows for you to experience true freedom and deliverance from the weight that has been thrown onto your back, from the enemy.
Jesus came to set the captives free. His burden is light. He wants to take this worry from us. We don't want to hold it anymore. If you are scared to do this, then let me encourage you with this: when we depend completely on God, we are emptied of ourselves, leaving room for the Lord to work, and we will thrive. We will thrive, our hearts will overflow, and our spirit will be lifted when we simply trust that Jesus will take care of every detail of our lives. It's not too much for Him. It's not too difficult.
When we give Him our worries we are surrendering our everything. Although, sometimes when we give Him our worries, we often take them back without intending to. We often begin to worry about them again a day later. There was a time in my life when I had to daily surrender to God, even hourly surrender to God. That's good. Do it as much as you need to! God really wants to take it from you, so give it to Him.
