Learning to Surrender


I love, Lord, how you bring verses to me at just the right time.  You touched me with these three and I want to know why.  I don’t know what you have for me, but I want to follow wherever it leads me.  I’m human, so I will admit that it scares me a bit.  What if I can’t do it? What is I don’t have the words? I am without much courage … but it occurs to me that you haven’t called me to serve you because I’m so amazing, but because You are.  All I have to do is show up and be obedient and have a willing heart.  Will I make mistakes? Yep. Will I stumble? Yep. Will I have periods of doubt? Only if I give satan purchase and remove my focus on You.

So find me willing and obedient and present; and thank you, Lord, for the journey and the teachable moments along the way, even before I take the first step.


Ps. 10:17 - "Lord, you know the hope of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them."
Prov. 8:17 - "I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me."
Rm. 10:14 - "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?"
