How to Let Go

"Surrendering doesn't mean giving up. It means inviting God to become even more intimately involved in your life."

I know that we've talked a lot about how I prefer to have the control in my life and how hard it is for me to just "let go". Well, today's devotion was another good one for me. It was about surrendering everything over to God and letting Him take complete control over your life.

Here's the problem. I'm not sure how to do this. I know that I can ask Him. I know that I can want it. But I'm not entirely sure how to "live it out". I've been trying to do this - to let go - but I just keep finding myself back at square one and I'm not sure how to entirely lose control.

It's not just about struggling with the idea of letting God have complete and total control anymore. It's more about I'm not sure how to do that? Any suggestions? I'm starting with a simple prayer.

God, please show me how to give you complete control. Help me to let go of my control, fear, perfectionism, what other people will think of my life. Amen.

So, that's a start!

"Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ."
