Day Seven
Set aside a longer period of time to look back over the last week. Turn your phone off to make sure you are distraction-free.
Get in a comfortable posture.
Let’s start by
BREATHING
Take a three deep breaths and to settle your soul.
When you are ready,
PRAY THIS PRAYER OF SURRENDER
Jesus, I am not the King.
I give everything and everyone to you. I surrender my desire for power and influence. I surrender my desire to be approved of by others. I surrender my desire to be comfortable. I surrender my desire to be in control.
Jesus, I want what you want.
LOOK BACK OVER THE LAST WEEK
Take 20 minutes to look back over the last week of your journal. As you read, contemplate all the things God has spoken to you.
What comes to the surface?
Was there a theme that emerged?
What was it like to surrender to God this week?
ASK GOD A FEW QUESTIONS
God, what area of of my life do you want me to focus my surrender?
God, what would you like me to do next to practice surrendering to you each day?
LISTEN
Embrace the silence and fight the urge to speak. Be in the presence of God and listen for his voice.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER
Write out a sentence or two of what God is asking you to do for your personal spiritual rhythm. This could be one new step forward, or an entire overhaul to how you are connecting with God.
If you need help, use the statements below:
"Today, I choose to surrender _______ and _________ to God."
"Today, I will practice surrendering by giving God __________ and trusting Him with the outcome."
