I Surrender…

(I wrote this sometime ago. I was in the middle of a ‘situation’. The outcome that I wanted was just not happening. I was anxious and fearful, I tried everything I could possibly do but nothing came of my efforts. Upon reflection, I realized that surrendering to the Lord was my only option. His will would be done in all things! And I have to admit all the worrying was useless. The ‘situation’ resolved itself in God’s good time.)

I surrender to my desire,

to be the best that I can be.

To put my utmost effort forward

in whatever comes before me.

Though I know not what that could be,

a leap of faith is all I can see.

I surrender to knowing that my God will take care of me

Of this I’m sure as much as I can be.

I surrender to the joy that each morning holds for me.

Making choices that seem right,

using my ability to discern what God wants of me.

I surrender to knowing

that my God is awesome,

the Great I am, who holds me in the palm of His hand

who lets me face the consequences of my actions

As I step out in faith…

surely goodness and kindness will follow.

I surrender with trust that any trials can be met

with His grace that is sent my way

Secure, that it is just enough,

for the moment.

I surrender to no fear.

The Lord is my Shepherd, indeed.

I shall not want.

I march forward, confident of His presence.

I surrender to You O lord,

my Creator,

my Loving father, Abba

my All in All

Just as I am!
