Why do we have such a hard time with this one? Raised in the South, I am aware of how stubborn, set in our ways, hard-headed, and opinionated people can be. I alas suffer from some or all of these maladies. Laying down my will for another's is hard - but the pain comes mostly from ego. I, of course, think I know best and impose that knowledge whenever I can.
But what happens if the situation is not one I can control. And I must, gulp, leave it in another's hands? If that Other is God, it should be no problem. Yet even in prayer, I find myself asking for what I want instead of what may be for the ultimate best.
Surrender comes with a price tag. Every decision does. But some costs are easier to pay than others. Surrender to God. You will never regret that decision.
