What Surrender Really Means
For a long time, I thought surrender meant failure. I thought it meant giving up, losing control, or admitting I wasn’t strong enough. So I fought. I tried harder. I carried everything on my own and it slowly wore me down. What I didn’t realize was that surrender isn’t about weakness. It’s about honesty. Surrender showed up for me when I finally admitted I couldn’t fix everything. When I stopped pretending, I was okay. When I brought my fear, anger, and exhaustion to God exactly as they were. That’s when things began to shift, not all at once, not perfectly but enough to breathe again.
