Surrender in Trust

Surrender in Trust

Give me wisdom in how to work with you, Lord God, to obey you, to do what is useful for you in your Kingdom, instead of focusing just on what is easy or possible.  I open myself to you completely, I relax in your presence and praise you for your trustworthiness, your goodness, your wisdom, power, grace and kindness.

You are the One who knows the future, understands the outcome of every possible decision, who warns us of impending errors and guides us in every aspect of what we are going to do. The question is, are we going to listen and follow?

I praise you, Lord, for your wonderful work and power in our lives. You always act out of perfect motives, out of full knowledge, out of love and concern, out of a desire for the best. In you is all we could desire: the ultimate Father-heart, the protection, purpose, presence and provision of One who loves us deeply, wisely and consistently.

You have poured out your love upon us, giving us the certainty of a future with you, the solid hope of heaven, a promised inheritance of spiritual riches and the possibility of receiving glory, honor and praise from you when we arrive there. To you be exaltation and glory and praise in all.
