Introduction
In many religions, there is the idea of surrendering to a higher power. This can be seen as giving up control of your life to God, or it can be seen as asking for guidance from a source that is outside of yourself.
There are many benefits to surrendering to God. One benefit is that it can help you to let go of your fears and worries. When you are worried about something, it can be helpful to give it up to God and trust that everything will work out for the best.
Another benefit of surrendering to God is that it can help you to find inner peace. If you are struggling with making decisions or if you are feeling lost, surrendering to God can help you to find guidance and direction.
If you are interested in learning more about how to surrender to God, there are many resources available. There are books, websites, and even support groups where you can talk to others who have surrendered their lives to God.
The Process of Turning it over to God
The first step of turning it over to God is recognizing that you need to and that you can’t do it on your own. The second step is asking God for help. The third step is turning your will and your life over to Him. The fourth step is making a list of things that you need to turn over to God. The fifth step is forgiving yourself. The sixth step is forgiving others. The seventh step is letting go of the past. The eighth step is living in the present moment. The ninth step is taking action on what you have learned.
Recognize that you need help
The first step in turning it over to God is recognizing that you need help. For some of us, this may be a difficult thing to do because we like to think that we can handle things on our own. However, acknowledging that we need help is actually a act of strength because it shows that we are willing to let go of our pride and humble ourselves before God. When we are willing to do this, we are opening ourselves up to His grace and mercy. If you find yourself struggling to admit that you need help, just remember that everyone needs help at some point in their lives. You are not alone in this.
The second step is to pray. This may seem like a no-brainer, but prayer is actually a very powerful tool that can help us in many different areas of our lives. When we pray, we are essentially opening up a line of communication with God. We are asking for His guidance and wisdom in whatever situation we may be facing. Additionally, prayer can also help to strengthen our relationship with God. The more time we spend talking to Him, the closer we will feel to Him.
The third step is to surrender your will to God. This means that you are putting your trust in Him and His plan for your life, even if you don’t understand it or agree with it. This can be a difficult thing to do because it requires a lot of faith on our part. However, when we surrender our will to God, we are showing Him that we trust Him completely and that we are willing to follow His lead.
Taking these three steps will not guarantee that everything will start going according to plan overnight. However, it will show God that you are serious about wanting His help and guidance in your life. It is important to be patient and have faith as He works His plan out in your life.
Be willing to let go
The process of turning it over to God can be a difficult one. We may have been holding onto something for so long that letting go seems impossible. But when we are finally willing to let go, we find that it is much easier than we thought.
Turning it over to God doesn’t mean that we never think about the thing again. It doesn’t mean that we forget about it completely. What it does mean is that we are no longer attached to the outcome. We are no longer trying to control the situation.
When we turn it over to God, we are handing over the control to someone who knows what is best for us. We are trusting that God will take care of us and lead us in the right direction. We may not always understand why things happen the way they do, but we can trust that God has a plan for us.
So if you’re struggling with something in your life and you don’t know what to do, try turning it over to God. You may be surprised at how much peace you can find in doing so.
Pray for guidance
One of the most important things you can do when you’re feeling lost or confused is to pray for guidance. Talk to God and ask him to help you see the situation clearly and make the best decision.
Prayer is a powerful tool, and it’s one that we should use often, especially when we don’t know what to do. When we turn our problems over to God, he can help us see things from a different perspective and give us the wisdom we need to make the right decisions.
If you’re not sure what to pray, here are some examples:
-Dear God, please help me to see this situation clearly and give me wisdom to know what to do.
-Dear God, I feel lost and confused right now, please help me to find my way.
-Dear God, I’m struggling with this decision, please help me to know what is best.
Listen for direction
Most likely, God will not use a billboard or a neon sign to direct your path. In fact, he might not even speak to you in an audible voice. So how can you be sure you’re hearing God’s direction for your life?
First, be in regular communication with God through prayer and Bible reading. This allows you to develop a relationship with him and get to know his character. As you get to know him better, you’ll be more able to recognize his voice when he speaks to you.
Second, ask God to help you recognize his voice. When you don’t know which way to turn, tell him that you want to follow his will for your life but need his help in understanding what that is. Then be patient and listen for his direction. It may come through his word, through the counsel of other believers, or through circumstances that seem to “coincidentally” fall into place. Trust that God will make himself clear and be willing to follow where he leads—even if it’s not what you had planned.
Follow through
When we have done all we can, we must trust God to take over. This is not always easy, but it is an essential part of our faith journey. We have to be willing to let go and let God take control. This does not mean that we do not play a role in our lives, but rather that we recognize that there are some things beyond our power and understanding.
When we follow through with our faith, it means that we are keeping our promises and commitments to God. We are living out our values and beliefs in our everyday lives. It means being obedient to God’s commands and living according to His will. It means putting our trust in Him, even when things are difficult or uncertain.
Following through with our faith requires discipline and perseverance. We need to be diligent in our efforts to grow closer to God. We need to be patient as we wait for His guidance. And we need to be consistent in living out His will for our lives.
If you are struggling to follow through with your faith, ask God for help. He will give you the strength and wisdom you need to stay on track. He will also bless you with His peace and joy as you walk with Him each day.
Conclusion
We all go through rough patches in life. And sometimes it can feel like there’s nowhere to turn. But it’s important to remember that we are never alone. God is always with us, waiting to help us through whatever situation we find ourselves in.
So if you’re feeling lost, or like you can’t go on, take a moment to reach out to God. He’ll be there for you, ready to help you through whatever you’re going through.
