One of my biggest problems is when I try to get myself out of a situation I don't like. If it is a finanical one I will try to my best to find ways to make money. If it is an illness I will try my best to avoid the pain or effects of the illness. Whatever I don't like I try to get out of. The problem is that the more I try the deeper I find myself in the pit I am trying to get out.
It is a hard lesson to learn but I am learning it is not by my efforts that my situation changes it is by surrendering to the One that can get me out of the pit. I know Him as Jesus. Jesus does not need me to work my way out, He needs my hand so He can pull me out. When I surrender to Jesus I come to Him with empty hands. I come to Him with no agenda or plan but I trust and believe that with Him my situation will change. I let go of what I am holding and let God place me where He wants me.
The crazy thing about surrendering is you don't know what God is going to do. Some times He pulls me out a situation, some times He leaves me where I am but gives me a new perspective so I can overcome the situation. When I surrender I don't control what happens but I trust that what happens is what is best for me.
Surrendering is not a one time thing it is a process. It is a process of learning to put my trust and faith in God in every situation. It is a lesson I learn everyday.
Have a great day!!
