Turning, placing and surrendering are all words that synonymously describes the condition of a contrite heart. Turning to God for healing, direction, and guidance is something that all of us can do. Even if we haven’t prayed in a long time, God is still God and God is always good even when we’re not! Faithfully, God is our refuge, strength, and a very present help in times trouble (Psalm 46:1). When we surrender to God in prayer, we’re able to sense the reality of His love and patience. We discover that in spite of appearances we have not been cut off from Him. We glimpse something of our eternal, spiritual identity as His loved sons and daughters. This state of enlightenment awakens us to God’s reality which effectuates healing, peace, comfort, strength, and progress.
