How often we say that and want to be able to believe it, but such surrender demands so much faith and trust in God.
We would much prefer doing everything ourselves rather than putting things in God's hands.
It seems hard enough just to stop working and worrying long enough to spend time with God in prayer, let alone having the trust to turn over our lives and let God "worry" for us...
...We have to let God share by trusting and letting God into the practical, day-to-day side of our lives.
We have to let God act. And if we do, then our prayer takes on all kinds
of new dimensions...
...One who can put things in God's hands and trust God grows daily in the knowledge that for one who loves God, all things work together unto good...
