A New Level of Surrender

Yesterday, I reflected on how discernment flows from identity—how knowing who I am in Christ shapes how I see, choose, and wait. But with that clarity comes another invitation: surrender. Once God begins to show us who we truly are, He also begins to gently ask us to let go of who we no longer need to be.

And that’s where Day 5 meets me—at a new level of surrender.

Lately, God has been leading me into a deeper place of surrender. Not the kind that happens all at once, but the kind that unfolds step by step—layer by layer. Surrender isn’t always instant. Sometimes it’s a slow release. Sometimes it looks like letting go piece by piece, as God strengthens our hearts and deepens our trust in Him. I’ve realized He doesn’t force surrender from us—He invites us into it. And He gives us the grace to walk it out, even when we don’t fully understand what He’s doing. His pace is kind. His process is patient.

There are still things I don’t have answers for. Promises I believe in, but don’t yet see. Questions I’ve laid at His feet, and silence I’ve learned to sit with. But even in the unknown, He is teaching me that peace doesn’t come from having clarity—it comes from having Him. And the more I surrender, the more I sense Him making room in my heart for what’s new. I don’t have to hold everything together. I don’t have to figure it all out. I just have to keep saying “yes,” one day at a time.

Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s worship. And it’s where the real transformation begins.
