Surrender and Allow for Miracles to Happen
There is a wonderful thing that happens when a person gets to a
point in their life where the realization dawns, that all that
they have tried only continues to perpetuate the struggle of
everyday living. When this point is reached many have gone down
to their knees and surrendered, praying to a force greater than
them to intervene.
The scriptures tell us that in surrendering, we allow for Grace
to flow into our lives. The act of surrendering allows for the
hand of God to arrange our affairs. Such a simple prescription
for all that troubles us. Yet most will wait till they have
descended into the pit of despair before coming to the point of
surrender.
What does it mean to surrender? How do you surrender?
In surrendering, you are releasing the perceived burdens that
you carry to the Divine within. When you surrender you are
allowing for the Divine within you to influence your thoughts,
your feelings and your impulses. When you surrender you are also
trusting in The Divine within you to look after you. As you
release your burdens to the Divine within, you will begin to
experience the lightness of being and joy will begin to flow
again. It is a very simple act and very simple to do, an act
that has profound effects on every facet of your life.
How do you surrender? Florence Scovel Shinn in her book, "The
Game of Life", recommends the following words, "I cast this
burden to the Christ within, and I go free." These words can be
adapted to words that resonate for you. I like saying, "I
surrender this feeling/thought/belief/conditioning (inserting
whatever is being experienced in that moment) to the Divine
within me, and I walk free in profound Grace." Let's say you are
experiencing the fear of not having enough money, then you could
say, "I surrender this fear of lack to the Divine within me and
I go free in profound Grace into abundance."
I experience such lightness each time I surrender. The more I
surrender the easier it becomes to surrender and the greater the
feeling of Grace. I am feeling more at peace, more loving, my
faith is stronger and I am inspired. Insights and ideas are
flowing into my awareness effortlessly. Each day brings a
greater feeling of the Divine within.
This whole process is not one that the rational mind may
understand. It is one that you do coming from your heart, with
all sincerity. As you begin this process of surrendering you
will find all sorts of feelings, thoughts and memories surfacing
over the days and weeks. They surface so you may surrender them.
As you are consistent with surrendering, you are releasing all
the stagnant energy in and around your field of energy. You will
then begin to experience a lightness of being and a sense of joy
in your whole being.
All this release begins to occur without the rational mind
having to process anything. This process occurs because you have
willingly surrendered with all sincerity, trusting in the
Divine. You may read this article and think that you already
know all this. There is a great difference in knowing something
intellectually and knowing something through experience. To know
the information and the results of surrendering will bring you
little gain, will have little effect in bringing back the joy
and lightness into your life. When you begin to know this
information through the act of surrendering you will give
yourself the ultimate gift of Grace flowing into every aspect of
your life and you will begin to experience the Divine within you
in a whole new way. You will begin to experience the kingdom of
heaven within you.
