Surrender

Life can be so frustrating at times and sometimes all I want to do is scream.

When the pressure is coming in all around me and it feels like I am being surrounded by everyone and everything that seeks to destroy me, I want to throw up my hands and quit.

Life seems to be falling apart at the seams and chaos rules the day.

I try to hold onto my life and keep it in my tight grasp, not wanting to relinquish the control I think I have.

Pride fills my heart and tells me to keep holding on. “I’ve got it under control,” I keep telling myself. But it is now evident that my life is slowly slipping through my weakening hands and I can’t hold on any longer.

I hand over the pieces of my shattered life that remain to you, O God, and give you full control.

I surrender to you the pen and ask you to write the adventure that is the life you want for me.
