Lent 2025 School of Prayer 34

Day 34: The Prayer of Surrender

Scripture: “He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” — Philippians 2:8

Surrender is one of the hardest but most powerful forms of prayer. Jesus fully surrendered to the Father’s will, even when it led Him to the cross. His obedience was not forced—it was an act of love and trust.

True prayer is not about convincing God to do what we want. It is about letting go of our own plans. It involves trusting in His perfect will. Surrender does not mean giving up. It means placing our lives in God’s hands. We believe that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).

Today, take time to pray a prayer of surrender. Give God your worries, your desires, and your future. Say, “Lord, I trust You. Take my life, my plans, my struggles. Let Your will be done in me.” Jesus surrendered everything to the Father. We are called to do the same. We know that His love will never fail us.

Reflection: Is there something in your life that you struggle to surrender to God? What would it look like to fully trust Him in that area? Pray today with a heart open to His will.

Fasting & Giving: Give financially to a missionary or faith-based organization.
