Opening Up Through Surrender

Can you recall a time in your life where you fully surrendered? A time you gave up all control and you asked something more than yourself to do whatever it deemed correct. If so, what was the result?

I don’t think I will ever forget the first time I completely surrendered to something more than myself. It took death in my face to get there. It was one of the most traumatic days of my life as well as spiritually transformative. I literally dropped to me knees and gave all my love to the situation at hand asking that if nothing else, the person felt my love. What happened next was truly a miracle.

Although I literally saw how transformative letting go is, I still struggle with it on a day to day basis. I do great at surrendering when I have no other choice. When life isn’t going smoothly it’s easier to reach out. But what about when life is mediocre or even fabulous? How do you stay in a place of surrender?

I was recently told in meditation that I needed prayer which honestly was confusing to me. I was so connected through mediation but what I didn’t get, was praying is an act of surrender. It is a bowing to the power of something greater than myself. There is so much loving energy waiting for us when we give up control. Could it really be that simple? I will say my faith has only gotten stronger with surrendering because it is matched with what spirit can provide. Miracles and magic every day, I have to say yes!

If you have any tips on staying in a place of full surrender, please by all means leave them below. I would love any and all input on this topic.

Blessings,

Nichole
