In sweet surrender, I turn everything over to God.

Sweet surrender is an attitude of mind and heart, an attitude of acceptance of blessings. When I turn all over to God in an act of surrender, I know true serenity.

Whatever I give to God is healed and made right, so I surrender any tendency toward negative thoughts or habits. What a relief it is to know that I don't need to struggle, that God is my strength and conviction. I also surrender any need to find fault with myself or others and immediately relax into a state of peace.

I give to God any discomfort of body or mind, knowing that even conditions that have troubled me over the years yield to divine power. I now understand that the woman who touched Jesus's garment and was healed was reaching out in sweet surrender, and so am I.

"Seeing her he said, 'Take heart, daughter;
your faith has made you well.' "
--Matthew 9:22
