Surrender

 I read Psalm 88, a very heavy Psalm, which is full of lament and also a honest cry - this allowed me to look back to God’s presence in today. I felt that God is saying to me: not look back to yesterday or worry about tomorrow.   This is very much in line with Jesus’ own words: “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34).

1. Honesty before God – Like the psalmist, I want to be transparent about my pain and my needs. That’s not weakness; it’s faith, because I am bringing it all to God.
2. Listening to God’s whisper – In my prayer I sensed His voice reminding me to live in today. That’s His gift, His presence right now.
3. Choosing praise – my prayer should be with surrender: to praise Him in good times and bad. That is the heart of worship, and it’s what strengthens us in the hardest seasons.

My prayer is simple, yet I want it to be very deep.
