May 6 Devotion - Surrender to God

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."

الرب يقاتل عنكم وانتم تصمتون

 Exodus 14:14

Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s.

وتعلم هذه الجماعة كلها انه ليس بسيف ولا برمح يخلّص الرب لان الحرب للرب

1 Samuel 17:47

In times of great difficulty and great expectation, it is wise to keep our spirits calm, quiet, and sedate; for then we are in the best frame to do our own work which is to be still and surrender to God and realize that the battle is His. If God himself brings his people into difficult situations, He will himself discover a way to bring them out again, in a stronger and more resilient form.

 I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, You are always in control. Lord God, help me to remember that You are bigger than any problem life’s circumstances can throw at me and are always able to take care of any situation and provide an answer to any question or problem. Father, help me to surrender to You knowing that You will never leave me, turn Your back on me, reject me, or withdraw Your love from me. Thank You Father that You are very patient and continue to show me again and again that You are the source of my strength, my provision, my protection, and my ultimate success in life. Lord God, help me to remember that the Holy Spirit is within me and Jesus said "My peace I leave with you", therefore I should trust in your plan. Jesus speak to me through the scriptures and The Holy Spirit so that I too, like the wind, can go from chaos to peace in a heartbeat. In Your holy name Jesus I pray to The Father.  Amen.

Jesus Loves you
In Him,
