Submitting to God's Will
Every day, we face choices that shape our lives. From the moment we wake up, our decisions—big and small—reflect what we value most. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to surrender our own will and desires, allowing God to guide us in His perfect plan.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV): “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."
How to Submit to God's Will
Submission to God isn’t about losing ourselves; it’s about finding true freedom in Him.
To submit our will is to lay down our plans, ambitions, and fears at His feet, trusting that He knows best. It’s a daily act of faith, surrendering control and seeking His direction, even when the way forward seems unclear.
Why Surrendering Matters
When we try to hold on tightly to our plans, we often find ourselves burdened, anxious, or stuck. But when we trust in God’s infinite wisdom, we experience:
- Peace: Knowing He works all things for our good (Romans 8:28).
- Clarity: Allowing the Holy Spirit to illuminate our path.
- Purpose: Living in alignment with God’s greater plan for our lives.
Practical Ways to Surrender to God
- Start with Prayer: Begin each day by asking, “Lord, what is Your will for me today?”
- Study Scripture: God’s Word reveals His character and desires for our lives.
- Trust His Timing: Be patient and wait for His direction rather than rushing ahead.
- Let Go of Control: Surrender specific areas of life where you feel resistant to change or guidance.
Let us pray for SURRENDER: Heavenly Father, I come to You today with open hands and an open heart. I surrender my plans, my dreams, and my fears to You. Teach me to trust in Your perfect will. Lead me by Your Spirit, and help me to walk in obedience. May Your will be done in my life, for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
As we go through the rest of our week, let us remember that submission to God is not a one-time act but a journey of faith. Trust Him with your heart, and watch as He transforms your life in ways you could never imagine.
