SURRENDER THAT...

He did this for me yesterday. Speak to us through the art of creation. Are you listening? Photograph: Edison Jackson Photograph: Kenny Connelly Photograph: Edison Jackson Photograph: Karen Harper

This is a hard. I have so much to give to you Lord. It is hard to let go of my boys, my business, my life. This is what I want to do. Why is it so hard. The fear wells up in me and shows its face through anger, frustration, and control. Why do I have to surrender my treasures to someone I do not trust. I trust you Lord to take care of them. Cover them with your healing. Fill in the spots that are rough and weathered. Restore them to wholeness. Build their confidence in you. Break the will to be in control, in charge. Let them open their ears to hear and see authority and give them the wisdom and courage to follow direction. Break the avoidance. Help them press into their fears with you and not avoid them with defiance. Wrap them up with your peace while they are away, protect them and bring them back filled with your joy.
