Surrender is not any easy concept for our minds to grasp.  We live in a world that values winners and those who push through the odds, those with grit and who never give up. Those who let go, give up, acquiesce, concede are weak and a victim.  Like most things the context of a situation must be taken into account.  Sometimes the only choice we have is to surrender.  After we have taken all the action and kept up the fight, we may realize we were fighting for the wrong side.  An alternate definition of surrender I heard once was to choose to go to the winning side.  The most powerful choice we can make in our daily lives is to entrust ourselves to God. When we play the role God has assigned us we are living from a place of power because we are fueled by All That Is.  The surrender here is letting go of the idea we know better than God.  I have often thought I knew exactly what I was supposed to do and had it all figured out. Then I remembered to ask God to use me this day and I show up realizing I have another role to play.  My ego does not like that.  I might not stand out as the hero in the situation or be acknowledged by those around me.  But in those times when I truly entrusted my life and my role to God, I had a peace of mind that far surpassed the recognition and acknowledgment I thought I needed from others.
