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 your sense of being entitled and practice being grateful for what you already have and for what you may never have.
Pray this without ceasing: “God, I stand before You and confess that I have oftentimes demanded that I have rights, and that I am inherently deserving of what I desire—entitled to whatever I want. I have believed, for some reason, that what I already possess, and whatever more I want, I am privileged to, as if I am owed something. Today, I stand before You and declare, I have become fully aware that I am entitled to nothing, and my worship of You will never again be contingent on what I receive from You; in fact, I will praise You in all things, even when it feels like a sacrifice. I acknowledge that I need not be grateful for all of my circumstances, but I certainly can be grateful and raise a shout of praise to You, my God, in all of my circumstances.”
Whoever won’t surrender their feelings of being entitled and instead practice an attitude of gratitude simply won’t become like Him.
