Find joy and freedom in surrender
Letting go is hard.
To surrender is to let go of what we tightly grip, the good and the bad. It's a relinquishing of control, a recognition that God alone can meet our deepest needs. It's a holy pause that entrusts each hope, each worry, and each pressing concern to the One whose love for us is beyond measure. And in this surrender, we enter into freedom. But, even so, letting go often feels easier said than done.
In The Freedom of Surrender, author Mary DeMuth invites you to journey through forty days of entrusting specific areas of your life to God-your inner struggles, your family, your expectations, your regrets, your ministry, your grief, your relationships, your job, your health, your finances, your future, and more. Every daily devotion includes Scripture, prayer, and Mary's original art that help you cast each care on the One who cares for you.
On this forty-day journey, you'll learn:
- How to trust that God is in control, even in moments of chaos and stress.
- True joy and freedom can happen when we release what we're holding too tightly.
- God's plan is to see you thrive and grow.
- Prayer opens the door to freedom and peace.
- Even in your struggles, you are never alone.
When we entrust our stresses and worries to God, we embrace the reality that's always been true: Our "control" is an illusion. God alone can meet our needs, heal our wounds, and guide our steps. From this place of total reliance on God, we can experience deep joy and the peace that passes understanding.
What are you holding too tightly? Experience freedom as you invite Jesus to help you surrender all.

It was the word, along with the image of a looming cross, that Jesus gave to his close followers immediately after Peter astounded them all when he named Jesus as 'Messiah.'
