Healthy Ways to Hold Surrender

Description

I explore surrender as more than a white-flag moment when life has brought us to the end of our resources, though God meets us there too. “I can’t, God. You can. I’m asking.” This prayer can also open a gentler way through everyday uncertainty, especially when we enter a social situation anxious to say the right thing or make everything work. In Swedenborgian terms, the Lord leads us while preserving our freedom, and surrender makes room for that leading as we release our agenda, become curious, listen deeply, and allow seeds of connection to grow in another soul and our own. May we be still, open, and willing to receive the beautiful gift of curiosity.
