Cease resistance; abandon control of your life entirely, and come into complete submission to God. That’s what it means to surrender. When Y’shua returns, some of you will be like Him. And for that transformation to occur, it requires that you surrender regrets and practice contentment.
Pray this without ceasing: “Yahweh, I know moments of grief, sadness, sorrow, dejection, and disappointment are natural experiences in life, but they should be temporary. I acknowledge and feel them, but won’t wallow in them. I will live a life without regrets. I can imagine standing before the throne of grace and giving an account of my life; and if that were to happen at this very moment, I should be living without any regrets. If what I am already doing must change because of new information, I am currently doing the wrong thing. What I think I should do now because of what I just heard, I should already be doing. That’s what it looks like to “Seek first the Kingdom of God.” Today, God, I practice contentment: to pursue Your will—the desire to please You in every area of life: spirit, soul, and body. This is what it means to be godly.
And to be godly is all that is needed to feel completely satisfied—utterly content. Contentment is always within my grasp because my pursuit of God is always within my control. This yields the fruit of acceptance of any circumstance with joy because of my unwavering trust that “godliness with contentment is great gain.”” Whoever won’t surrender their regrets and practice contentment simply won’t become like Him.
