To surrender is to be free of the weight of this world...and the weight of this world is heavy. Day in and day out, we wrestle with our faith. We wrestle to make time for God, to not just read God's Word but to spend time with God in his Word. We struggle to find time or remember to pray, and then our prayer over dinner turns into a Sunday night prayer session.

When we are ready to walk in a real and genuine relationship with the Lord, we must hand over the reins, no strings attached. We must fully surrender. Have you given him complete control of your life? Have you stopped trying to offer ways to solve your own problems? Or have you learned the gift of giving it to God and letting it go? It is far from easy, but it is worth it.

Jesus waits for you at the door. When you are ready for him to lead you on his path for is glory, you will have to surrender your whole life, all of it, to him. Are you ready to surrender?
