We have come to understand that surrendering our will to a higher power is essential for spiritual growth. We recognize that our attempts to control every aspect of our lives have often led to frustration and disappointment. By making a conscious decision to turn our lives over to God, as we understand God, we are taking a significant step towards inner peace and liberation. This act of surrender is not easy. It challenges our ingrained habits of resistance and control. However, we've learned that true acceptance brings a unique form of strength. We're not giving up, but rather giving in to the present moment and its circumstances. We acknowledge that this decision to surrender is just the beginning. It requires ongoing practice and commitment. But we believe that through this process, we can find a deeper sense of purpose and connection to something greater than ourselves.
May we find strength and peace in surrendering our will
to a higher power, trusting in the process
of acceptance and growth.
(inspired Richard Rohr, Breathing under Water)
