Finding Freedom in Surrender

True peace begins when we release our burdens and trust in God’s plan. - Wesleyne

Word of the Day

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7

Summary

In today’s episode, I want to invite you to experience the incredible power of surrendering your burdens to God.

We all carry weights, some we’re aware of and some we aren’t, but here’s the good news: you don’t have to bear them alone.

Through a heartfelt prayer, I’ll walk you through the process of confessing your sins and seeking God’s forgiveness.

Remember, although we all fall short, God is always ready to lift us up and offer His grace.

Embrace the strength that comes from fully trusting Him, and let’s carry His light into our daily lives together.

Takeaways

- Remember that defeat is not from God; He offers us strength.

- Negative emotions can hold us back—choose to release them.

- Surrendering control to God allows Him to work miracles in our lives.

- Trusting God means stepping back and letting Him take the reins.

- Continually give your worries to God, and He will provide peace.

Transcript
Wesleyne (:

Lord today I come to you a sinner and need a savior. Lord I ask that all the burdens that I've been carrying, the things on my mind, on my heart that are not of you, Lord remove them today. Lord I ask that the person that is listening to my voice right now pray over them and ask that you remove the burdens that they have within them.

I ask that the heaviness of yesterday, the heaviness of today be removed from the life. Lord, keep your child. Hold them. Keep them. Remind them that yes, although they are a sinner, although they are trying their hardest to walk with you and to do the work you have called them to do, they still fall short. We know that we all fall short in the glory

of God. But Lord, you said all we have to do is come to you and repent. Say, I have sinned today, Lord, please forgive me. I have done wrong by a person today. Please forgive me. Lord, that's it. You say once we confess with our mouth, once we give that burden to you, you do the rest. We no longer have.

to internalize the pain we no longer have to beat ourselves up. So Lord today I say forgive me of the sins that I have committed, the ones that I know of and the ones that I know not of. Forgive the person listening to me of the sins that they have committed, the ones that they know of and the ones that they know not of. Lord help us to both continue walking with you.

Help us to both continue strive for your face. Help us to both continue move in your will. Lord, we love you so much. And we ask that as we step into this day, into this morning, afternoon, evening, as we lay down to sleep, that we remember throughout our day, throughout our moments.

Wesleyne (:

that you are the one true living God. That you Lord, you are the one that we get our strength from. You are the one that we depend upon. You Lord, only you. Continue to strengthen our minds, continue to strengthen our hearts, our spirits and our souls. Lord help us, keep us and hold us in your sun.

Jesus' name we pray, amen.
