Surrendering to God is an act of profound trust and humility, recognizing that His wisdom and plans surpass our understanding. It means letting go of control, releasing our fears, doubts, and desires, and choosing to place our lives in His hands. In surrender, we acknowledge that our own strength is limited, but His power is limitless. This submission isn't about weakness but about strength found in faith—knowing that God’s will, though sometimes mysterious or challenging, is always for our greater good. It’s a decision to trust, even in the unknown, and to seek peace in His guidance, knowing that surrender doesn’t mean giving up but rather giving over our lives to a higher purpose.
This week, Pastor Hollie Jo's message Lay It Down helps us to understand what surrender means and how it impacts our faith:
1. Surrender is not a sign of defeat - it is a statement of trust
2. Surrender breaks the chains of fear of the future and gives you freedom for today
3. Surrender leads to an internal transformation
