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 expectations and practice inspiration.
Pray this without ceasing: “Father, release me from the bondage to making assumptions about what You have planned or that things must happen to my satisfaction. Help me to be mindful about what I presume about You, myself, others, outcomes, or to what I feel entitled. Help me to be especially careful about what hopes I fabricate in my mind about others; I know they will only lead to sorrow and disappointment. I acknowledge that it is in the rare person in whom I might safely place any real confidence at all.
Instead of being disappointed that things did not work out the way I planned, or that people seem to always fall short of what I hoped for in them, I will be encouraged that Your purpose must include something even better! Instead of allowing every setback or moment of dissatisfaction in You, myself, others, outcomes, or to what I feel entitled irritate me, I will let them motivate Me!” Whoever won’t surrender their expectations and instead practice being inspired by disappointment simply won’t become like Him.
