When we turn our will and life over to the care of God, we are admitting that we cannot do life on our own and from this day forward are willing to let God direct our lives. We are aware of the wrongs we have done while we lived in self-will, the harm we have caused to our loved ones and friends, and the condemnation we have brought on ourselves. Now we are choosing to surrender our whole person – body, mind, and spirit, into God’s care. We say to God, “I am Yours. You have paid the price to give me new life. Now do with me as You will.”
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. (Romans 12:1 MSG)
So let us never stop offering to God our praise through Jesus. Let us talk openly about our faith in him. Then our words will be like an offering to God. Don’t forget to do good. Don’t forget to share with others. God is pleased with those kinds of offerings. (Hebrews 13:15-16 NIRV)
Every word of God is perfect. He is like a shield to those who trust in him. He keeps them safe. (Proverbs 30:5 NIRV)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for caring for me and guiding me in the way I should go. Please help me to obey Your word in everything I do. Amen
