Meditations on "Surrender"

Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.

Tony Bennet sang a song, “If I Ruled the World”.

At some point in our lives we came to an understanding that we could not continue as we were.

Everyone faces unwanted hardships and trouble. Some hardship comes because we act in ways that are unwise and end up in circumstances we did not anticipate.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

Many of us have questioned God about the purpose for our existence and the reason why certain things have happened to us.

“Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point.

When we turn our will and our life over to the care of God, He immediately begins to work to help us change.

We got to where we are today by our own irrational thinking and flawed solutions.

Jesus told many stories of what the Kingdom of Heaven is like.

When we pray the full version of the Serenity Prayer, what are we asking God to do for us?

Sometimes we have a blind spot to our wrong doing. We have lived and relied on our own understanding for years and now it has become a way of life that we find no fault with.
