Walking With God: A Journey of Surrender to His Will

Have you ever tried walking in complete darkness or walking while blindfolded? If yes, have you tried doing it with only someone giving directions to make it through? It’s challenging, but we rely on that someone. We trust them and allow them to be our guide.

The same logic applies in life. Tomorrow is not promised and is definitely uncertain. But walking with God will help us through it all. Walking with God is a journey of surrender to His will. This is the time when we walk by faith, not by sight. As we trust Him completely, we yield to His guidance.

As we navigate life’s uncertainties, walking with God means letting go of our own plans and relying on His perfect direction. Despite not knowing what tomorrow brings, we still experience serenity and peace of mind. Eventually, we can learn to rest in His timing and allow His will to shape our lives. This journey isn’t about striving but about allowing God to lead us every step of the way of our lives.

A book on finding faith in God, like Blue Skies and the Dove of Peace: One Man’s Journey to Find God by Mitchell W Pezdek Jr, is one of the top picks in this literary genre. It’s a great book as a guide for our faith in daily life.

Surrendering Control to God

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5-6

Surrendering control is a vital part of walking with God. It requires letting go of our desire to manage every aspect of our lives and placing our trust fully in His plan. At some point, we’ve been to situations where things are indecipherable. Sometimes, you can’t figure out why things are happening that way. And despite this, we search for answers. On this occasion, we rely on the wisdom of God and His perfect timing. A good way to remind us of that is through the words of King Solomon, as mentioned in Ecclesiastes 3:11: He has made everything beautiful in its time.

This signifies that when we walk with God, we recognize that His wisdom far exceeds our own, and His ways are always for our ultimate good. While most surrender means giving up, this one is completely different. It only means submitting yourself to Him, for he is the way, the truth, and the life. Walking with God, we release the burdens of self-reliance, allowing God to guide us with grace, purpose, and peace. This act of surrender brings clarity and deepens our relationship with Him.

Trusting God Through Life’s Challenges

“He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1–6

If you try to look back, challenges have made you stronger. You can say that you are stronger than yesterday. But if you feel the same, that’s completely okay. But remember, no one stays the same after a challenge or a mistake. There will always be something to learn from it.  But as you look back, you’ll know you are not alone in that meaningful journey. You are always walking with God in every step you take.

Life’s challenges can become overwhelming, but walking with God requires trusting Him to carry us through. During these moments, we may feel overwhelmed, but placing our trust in God helps us find a sense of tranquility even when the path ahead seems unclear.

Finding Purpose and Peace in Surrender

Surrendering to God’s will brings a deeper sense of purpose and direction.  Why? Believe it or not, there are really things that are beyond our control. Despite how purposeful our acts are, His purpose is sometimes so much better, and it can sometimes redirect us or realign us to greater things. Through that, He transforms our lives.

Surrendering to Him helps us let go of our own desires and embrace the life God has in store for us. Walking with God, we find rest and joy in His perfect will, allowing His peace to flow freely in every aspect of our lives.

Walking with God Is A Testament of Faith

Walking with God is a journey of surrender and trust, where we release control and place our faith in His perfect plan. Surrendering to God’s will opens the door to His wisdom, guiding us through life’s uncertainties with confidence. In walking with God, we grow closer to Him. Let us continue to walk in surrender and trust God’s will. Do you want to learn more insights about finding faith in God?
