Quotes about Surrender

The LORD directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way? PROVERBS 20:24 NLT

Release control. Quit worrying, quit trying to make it happen your way and say, "God, I trust You. I know You're in control of these winds. They can push me forward, backward, left, right, but one thing I'm certain of: where You take me is exactly where I'm supposed to be.

You have to trust that God is in control, that He's planned out all of your days, that He knows what's best for you. Instead of fighting where you are, learn to embrace where you are.

God is in control. You may not think anything is happening, but remember, God often works the most when we see it and feel it the least. Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors to open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

If you'll learn to release control to God, you'll not only live happier, you'll live longer.
