What Does Surrender Look Like?

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: If we want to be like Jesus, we need to learn to surrender to God’s will. I asked some friends what surrender looked like to them.

Woman 1: I was challenged to be more generous . . . to give some of my stuff away.

Woman 2: I had to change some spending habits.

Woman 3: I learned to be less opinionated.

Woman 4: I had to take some things off my schedule.

Nancy: We’re all faced with the same question: Will I follow God’s will in every area of my life?

Woman 5: I had to stop trying to change my husband.

Nancy: Jesus said, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” So many professing Christians go through life without asking, “What does God want me to do about this? What does the Bible say?”

Woman 6: Following God’s call for me meant moving to a new city. I had to leave my house and friends.

Nancy: Have you asked what God thinks about the issues you’re facing? Once He shows you, then simply say, “Yes, Lord.”
