The very thought of letting go and letting God can strike fear in some. There’s the thought “I don’t know how to let go.” When you cling to your idea of what a healing looks like and feels like, how can you actually let go? You cant. If you’re convinced you know best, of course it’s frightening to surrender and trust God.
If you feel that, in the past, God has let you down and not delivered what you’ve ordered up (via your prayers), then you might not trust God. You might think God’s Delivery Service is undependable. If God is not doing what YOU think God should be doing, then you may not actually know what it means to surrender.
In some contexts surrender means to give up. In battles, the loser surrenders to the winner, but that’s not what God is about. When you surrender your judgments and opinions to God for healing, then YOU are the winner. You are the living, loving presence of God and your desire to hold yourself apart as separate is the biggest loss you can experience.
While the thought of surrender can be frightening, the decision to let go and let God can produce an immediate sense of openness. Think of taking an inhalation and then deciding to give it to God and, exhaling, “ahhhhh, thank you, God, I’m giving this concern to you.” Your decision is the key to letting go. God’s already got you, if you will but surrender the thought that God is undependable.
It’s ALWAYS about surrender and willingness.
Affirmation:
I AM willing to surrender what I think it should be. I AM willing to let go and let God.
