Week 2: Closer to Others
Day 13 | Surrendering to God's Will
Scripture
Father if you are willing take this cup from me; yet not my will but yours be done.
Luke 22:42
Surrendering to God's will is so important for our faith and obedience. Even Jesus in His humanity wrestled with surrender as He faced the cross. Yet He fully yielded to the Father's plan trusting in His wisdom and love for Him. True surrender means laying down our own desires plans and fears and trusting God to lead us. It's not about passivity but about actively choosing to align our lives with His purpose. In surrender we find freedom clarity and peace knowing that God's plans are always for our good and His glory.
Reflection
What areas of your life do you need to surrender to God? How can trusting His will bring peace and purpose?
Prayer
Father I surrender my will to Yours. Help me to trust Your plan for my life even when I don't fully understand it. Give me the courage to follow where You lead and to rest in Your perfect love. Amen.
