The question is how to prepare oneself to surrender. There is no one on this earth who is not afraid of something. Sometimes the fear is valid. If for example, you have an exam and you have not studied the whole year and now you fear that you will not pass. It is obvious that you have the fear that you will fail in the exam. In this case no one can do anything not even surrender can do anything. No matter how many offerings of fruit or sweets you do on deities, you will not pass.
However if you have fully prepared yourself and you still have the fear, then surrender can help you a lot. It can help you to have self-dialogue. Surrender does not happen in an instant. When you surrender to someone too quickly, you come out of it too quickly as well. The relationship that grows slowly and steadily flourishes and stays for long.
