Surrender yourself to God's will from "summary" of Introduce Yourself to God by Larry Peters
To surrender yourself to God's will means to let go of your own desires and plans, and to fully trust in the divine plan that God has for you. It requires a deep level of faith and humility, as you acknowledge that God knows what is best for you, even if it may not align with your own wishes. Surrendering to God's will is an act of submission and obedience, allowing yourself to be guided by God's wisdom and grace. When you surrender yourself to God's will, you are essentially handing over the reins of your life to God. You are acknowledging that God is in control, and that His plans are ultimately for your good. This can be a challenging concept for many people, as it requires a relinquishing of control and a surrendering of one's own will. However, when you surrender to God's will, you are opening yourself up to a greater sense of peace and purpose. Surrendering to God's will also means being open to the unexpected and the unknown. It requires a willingness to let go of preconceived notions and to trust in God's timing and direction. This can be a scary prospect for some, as it means stepping into the unknown and relinquishing control over your own life. However, surrendering to God's will can lead to a sense of freedom and liberation, as you release yourself from the burdens of trying to control every aspect of your life. Trusting in God's will also means being willing to accept whatever comes your way, knowing that God's plan is always for your ultimate good. This requires a deep level of faith and trust, as you navigate the ups and downs of life with a sense of peace and contentment. By surrendering to God's will, you are aligning yourself with the divine purpose for your life, and opening yourself up to the blessings and opportunities that God has in store for you.
