The Power of Surrender

Scripture: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." – Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)

Surrender isn’t about giving up—it’s about giving over. It’s not weakness; it’s worship. When you surrender your plans, your timing, and your understanding, you’re not losing control—you’re placing it in better hands.

We naturally want to figure everything out, make sense of the process, and hold the reins of our lives tightly. But God calls us to something higher—to trust, to submit, to release. And in return, He promises to direct our paths—not vaguely, but purposefully, clearly, and lovingly.

Surrender is where peace begins. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. The most powerful place you can live from today is not control—but trustful surrender to the One who sees the full picture.

Start today by naming one thing you need to surrender—maybe it’s a worry, a plan, a decision, or a burden. Hand it over in prayer. Speak this simple truth: “God, I trust You more than I trust myself.” Let that surrender free you to walk through today with peace.
