Surrendered

I am not waiting to move into surrender or talking about how I need to, I am actually surrendered. I am noticing that surrender has a few friends- peace, tranquility, calm and rest. 

I have wrestled with God and myself far too long. I am now exhausted to the point where I want nothing to do with the fight against my true identity, purpose and destiny nor the path it will take to me get there. 

I am ready to do what God is asking of me not in a moment of time, but for all time.

My life truly is not my own-it belongs to God. 

I turn the fight over to the Lord against my enemy-against sin working in me, against the devil.

I stand in what God has called me to and the battle will now be surrendered to the Father time and time again. 

I have tried to move in this season in my own strength. I have tried to fight this war my way or what I perceive to be God's way. 

I need to relinquish control and fade away into the arms of Jesus so that He can come forth and fight on my behalf.

I understand what needs to be done and I am in the midst of not simply preparing for it or talking about it but doing it.

I have been thinking all along I had to fight the enemy, and I have been failing miserably.

I need to stop fighting and surrender to Jesus every second of every moment of every day and let Him fight for me.

Today Lord, and I pray every day moving forward, you have my surrender. Have your way, Lord.

From Jesus:

You made it. You now have what it takes to make it to the end. Continue in this way and victory is yours. Remind them to do the same.
