I have to consciously think about why I’m reading my Bible and praying in the mornings – not to perfect my morning routine, but to know Him better.
The peace of the world always depends on circumstances, which means it’s never perfect (there’s always something that could be better, right?) and it never lasts.
If I’m being honest with myself, I used to think Jesus died for my sins, and now the rest was up to me.
Slowly my insecurities faded as I realized the security I had in God. I was known, loved, and seen by God.
Even though we struggle surrendering to Jesus, we must remember he is not like other flawed kings; he laid his life down so we can know him.
Jesus was calling me to put my complete trust in him for my strength and to focus on his amazing love instead of my weak, selfish love.
Through prayer we learn to lean into God’s strength instead of our own, and through obedience we learn that God’s ability is not dependent on our success.
