Give It Up!

Unto You, O Lord, do I bring my life. —Psalm 25:1

This is a very short but powerful verse. In fact it gives you the answer for your whole life: give it to the Lord.

This doesn’t mean you should bring Him just your worries and problems. It means bringing Him your entire existence and everything it entails. Grasping that truth will set you free from weariness and a feeling of wanting to give up.

I used to get worn out preparing for my meetings. I would get so intense about it and work so hard at making sure everything was right that I worked myself into exhaustion. Then I learned that all I have to do is give Him my life and everything in it. As we yield to Him, His peace fills us.

As you pray tonight, give your entire life to God and experience the freedom of knowing that whatever you face—good or bad—He has it under control.

From the book Ending Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer.

When I think of giving it up, I think of how I often try to 'figure' it out. I have been known to think, "I know you are in charge God, but couldn't you give me a little hint, so we both know?"

Giving up isn't quitting, it is giving over, not giving up. It is called surrender.
