The Daily Dose #0150

True peace and purpose come when you stop striving in your own strength and fully surrender to God. When you yield your life to Him, He takes responsibility for guiding, providing, and sustaining you. Surrender does not mean weakness—it means trusting the One who knows what is best for you and leads you according to His perfect will.

Today, reflect on whether you are holding anything back from God. Are you trusting Him fully, or are you still trying to control certain areas of your life? Release those burdens to Him, and walk in the freedom of complete surrender.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
— Proverbs 3:5–6
