Praise hands

Job 11:13-19 CEV “Surrender your heart to God, 
turn to him in prayer,
14 and give up your sins—
even those you do in secret.
15 Then you won’t be ashamed;
 you will be confident 
and fearless.
16 Your troubles will go away
 like water beneath a bridge,
17 and your darkest night
 will be brighter than noon.
18 You will rest safe and secure,
filled with hope
 and emptied of worry.
19 You will sleep without fear
 and be greatly respected.”

Matthew 10:39 (NLT): “If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up [surrender] your life for me, you will find it.”

3 areas that Jesus surrender and we need to surrender to experience the freedom that is found in Jesus 

Matthew‬ 26‬:39‬ (TPT‬‬) Then [Jesus] walked a short distance away, and overcome with grief, he threw himself facedown on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if there is any way you can deliver me from this suffering, please take it from me. Yet what I want is not important, for I only desire to fulfill your plan for me.” Then an angel from heaven appeared to strengthen him.‬‬‬

His Way

Proverbs 14:12 (ESV): There is a way that seems right to a [person], but its end is the way to [destruction].

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

Psalm 18:30 (NIV): As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he [protects] all who take refuge in him.

His Will

John 4:34 (NLT): “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.”

His Life

Philippians 2:5–11 (NLT): You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. 9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord…

Matthew‬ 26‬:39‬ (TPT‬‬) Then [Jesus] walked a short distance away, and overcome with grief, he threw himself facedown on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if there is any way you can deliver me from this suffering, please take it from me. Yet what I want is not important, for I only desire to fulfill your plan for me.” Then an angel from heaven appeared to strengthen him.‬‬‬
