Full Surrender: 🧎🏾♀️➡️🙋🏾♀️
Sometimes we pray and plead with God to move before His appointed time. In our urgency and desperation, we often fast, sacrifice, give, and cry out—believing these acts will compel God to act. While our devotion is sincere, we must remember: God is not moved by manipulation, but by trust. We may even think we can help God like Abraham did with Ishmael, He may allow a measure of change, but only what He has already ordained. What we perceive as delay is often divine timing. God is not slow; He is strategic.
He is teaching us to surrender—not just our desires, but our timelines. When we fully trust Him, we begin to understand that He is always in control. Nothing is missed, forgotten, or overlooked. Every detail, every moment, every need—He has already accounted for it all in His perfect plan.
Psalm 139:16 reminds us of this truth:
“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Before we ever took our first breath, God had already written the story of our lives. Every chapter, every twist, every trial and triumph was authored by Him with purpose. There is no panic in heaven—only a plan.
Hebrews 10:7 echoes this divine order:
“Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.” (KJV)
Even Jesus, the Son of God, came to fulfill what was written—submitted fully to the will of the Father. Likewise, we are called not just to ask God to move according to our will, but to yield to His.
So let us trust in the God who holds the pen. Our prayers are not in vain, but they must be partnered with surrender. He’s already gone before us. If we give Him full control, He won’t leave out a single detail. Everything is already orchestrated—perfectly timed, perfectly planned, and perfectly executed in His will.
