The old hymn, "I surrender All" came on the radio this morning, but it's words felt new to my heavy soul. A song so simple in lyrics but yet so profound to our Christian Faith.
I came to God today feeling like I had failed in my resolutions, in my plans, in my attempts at living out His will and purpose for my life and these were His sweet words to me...
God's will for us this day is to seek Him in prayer and simply ask,
"Lord what is your will for me today?"
"All to thee my precious Savior, I surrender all."

Resolutions (Hopes/Dreams) are not bad--I give men visions of things to come but those visions have a purpose of hope and not weariness. I give visions to show the promises I have spoken over you--promises that I will fulfill. You take my visions and stress and plan and plead for understanding. I'm not asking you to understand--I'm asking you to have faith. Visions are not given to be fulfilled by man--they are given to show that I operate above the power and abilities of man. Visions are my promise to you--my gift of hope. Hope is to bring peace and joy--an excitement to cherish in the every day for greater things to come. You are meant only to focus on today and put your hope in me for tomorrow. You must surrender your will to me so that you are free to operate daily in my will and not your own. Let go of what you can't control and hold on to me.This year my resolution is simply to surrender. I will hold on to hope and let go of control.
God's will for us this day is to seek Him in prayer and simply ask,
"Lord what is your will for me today?"
"All to thee my precious Savior, I surrender all."
