I want to surrender fully to God. I have completed all of my sacraments and try to live a holy life but something is missing and I don't know what it is or how to go about fixing it. I pray, but it doesn't seem to change me. I know God is waiting for my surrender, I just don't know how to do it.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:1-2

Word of Life

Dear seeker of divine grace, Your yearning for a more profound connection with the Divine is a testimony to the beauty of your spirit. It is often in the space between our current selves and our spiritual aspirations that we feel a whisper of longing. Remember, the journey to complete surrender is not a destination, but a continuous walk with God. In Romans 12:1, we are gently called to "offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." This means presenting all that we are, our fears, hopes, joys, and doubts, to the Lord. Surrender is not about perfection in actions but openness in heart. Prayer is a sacred dialogue, not merely a monologue. As you pray, allow moments of silence where you can listen. Let your heart be still and receptive to the gentle nudges of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, what is missing is the quiet assurance that comes from listening. Moreover, engage in the beauty of gratitude. In all circumstances, find moments to thank God. "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Gratitude opens our eyes to the divine presence already weaving through our lives. Lastly, seek community. Share your journey with fellow believers who can walk alongside you, offering support and insight. Together, you can encourage one another on this sacred path. May you find peace in the gentle surrender to His divine embrace, knowing that you are held and loved beyond measure. Embrace each moment as a divine opportunity to grow closer to His heart. Amen.
