Lent Mindset Day 19 – Finding Peace In Surrender

Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you.

— Elisabeth Elliot —

Reflection

I vividly recall my pre-Jesus days when I thought I could be all things to all people and be in complete control of all aspects of my life. Then the going got tough…as life often does…and I turned to chemicals to keep me going…and then I became addicted…and nearly lost it all.


Are you carrying more than you were meant to?

Jesus invites us to stop striving and start resting—in Him.

When we try to carry life’s burdens alone, we break down. But when we come to Him, He offers relief and rest for our souls (Matthew 11).

Lay down your stress, your guilt, your fears. Let Him carry what you can’t. His strength is made perfect in your weakness…I always write from experience.


Matthew 11:28-30 – “Come to me, all weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Thought for the day: When the going gets tough, turn to Him. True peace comes when we surrender our burdens to Christ. Release your worries and embrace His rest.
