Day 4: Devoted to God
Surrender yourself to God's will.
Wisdom from Brother Lawrence
We should surrender ourselves to God, concerning both worldly and spiritual matters, and find our satisfaction solely in doing His will. Whether He guides us through hardship or comfort, it would all be the same to a truly surrendered soul.
We must stay committed during those moments of dryness, numbness, or discomfort in prayer when God tests our love for Him. These are the times when we should make sincere and effective acts of surrender, and just one of these acts can often significantly advance our spiritual growth.
Scripture
Psalm 28:1-2
LORD, I call to you; my rock, do not be deaf to me. If you remain silent to me, I will be like those going down to the Pit. Listen to the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your holy sanctuary.
