Peace Through Surrender
Peace & Stillness
Scripture
Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Devotion
Much of our anxiety comes from trying to control what we cannot control, from carrying burdens we were never meant to carry alone. Peace comes through surrender—not giving up but giving over. When you surrender your need to control, when you release anxieties to God, when you admit you cannot do it all, peace becomes possible. Rest is not laziness; it is wisdom. Surrender is not weakness; it is strength. Come to Jesus with your weariness. Let Him bear what you have been carrying. Find rest and peace.
Today’s Step
What burden have you been carrying alone? Identify it. Surrender it to God. Ask Him to bear it. Experience the relief and peace that come through letting go.
Prayer
God, I lay down my burdens at Your feet. I release my need to control. I admit my weariness. Please bear what I have been carrying. Give me rest. Give me peace through surrender.
