Surrendering

This morning, I couldn't sleep! My mind was too busy figuring out what I had to do today, this week and this month!

I woke up feeling like I needed to hand over all my thoughts and plans to God. I had so many decisions to make and changes our family is going through.  There was just no way I could do it all.  I felt like God was telling me to ask for His help.

So what exactly does that look like? For me, handing things over or surrendering happens when I empty my thoughts and my heart of all that I’m carrying, and let go of everything I want or think that I need. Surrender is never easy for me because I’m afraid to let go, but I can’t figure out why I try to hold onto things I can’t change or control!

What about you? Is there something you need to trust God with today? Maybe we can work on it together.
