Weekly Challenge – Surrender Everything to God
The challenge for this week is “Surrender Everything to God”.
Yearly Series:
This is part of a yearly series “Weekly Challenges to Get Closer to God”. There are 26 challenges for 1 year. You prayerfully concentrate on 1 task for 1 week (every other week) and see what happens.
Surrender Everything to God:
To be a true Christian is to surrender everything to God. Everything is his anyway. It may seem like that house that you have the deed on is yours, but it’s not. Even your children or family members are not truly yours. Everything is God’s.
Everything you possess in this world is temporary. Only God is eternal. Surrender everything to him. Everything you feel, touch, experience, see, think, & use. Give it all to Jesus. Let God decide what to do with every aspect of your life.
Challenge:
So, for this week, concentrate on yielding to God. Let go of those strongholds. Release your fleshly desires. Surrender everything to God and see what happens. See how you become closer to God.
Bible Verses:
Here are some Bible verses to motivate you.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Matthew 16:24-25 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
