Self-Surrender:  What Is It?

Self-Surrender: What Is It?

• Do you sometimes have trouble letting things go?
• Do you have nagging problems that you can’t seem to solve?
• Do you have trouble trusting the process of life?

What is self-surrender?

“It is the process of first doing everything we can do to resolve a situation ourselves. We then release the issue to Divine Spirit to handle in whatever way is for the spiritual good of all. We release our attachment to the outcome in a state of acceptance.”
—Harold Klemp, ECKOPEDIA, The ECKANKAR Lexicon, p. 253

Taking responsibility for our troubles in life is the first step to solving them. Next, we do our best to correct our mistakes and/or change the situation in order to bring things back into harmony.
What happens if our best efforts aren’t helping to resolve the issue? Many people turn to God when they feel things are beyond their control, but praying that God answers our prayers and surrendering to God or a higher source, are two different things.

Spiritual discussions offer a relaxed setting for exploring spiritual truths and how we live them. You are warmly invited to join us to share spiritual insights and experiences, ask questions, or just listen. Family and friends are always welcome.
