Total Surrender: Living A Life Fully Trusting God

by Matthew Terrill

Why is it such a struggle for us to surrender everything to God? What does surrendering to God even look like and how are we supposed to do it? Why is it so hard for us to live the life that Jesus died to give us? Is life really supposed to be one constant struggle after another?One of the hardest things to do in life is to let go, giving God everything and never looking back. Laying it all down, never picking it up is the only way we can walk through this dark unfair world shinning and burning brightly for Jesus. Wanting control over our lives is the struggle that many Christians face and the turmoil of that fight is constantly lurking deep in our hearts. For many know what to do, but few actually do surrender.When a person holds onto frustration, bitterness, and the injustices of life their pain slowly evolves into chains that hold him down, disabling him to walk through life with peace, love, joy, and compassion. The only way to truly live is to die to our selfish nature every day and cast all of our burdens at the feet of Jesus.

[Grace · Rating 2 out of 5]

I felt I should explain why I've given a man who's so obviously passionate for God such a low star rating. Simply, thus book made me feel like a failure. I fight for my walk every day. I fight to get up and not give up. I don't think it makes me live The Lord any less, but this book made me feel that.

Maybe it will read different for those with less challenges in their faith?
