Lift and Release - From More Surrender

May 23

Cup your hands in your lap.

One by one put the people

you love into your hands.

Think of their needs and hurts.

Hold them for a few moments,

then lift your hands

and give your loved ones to God.

Release them to His care.

Do this for each important person

in your life. One by one.

Then rest in the assurance

that God has them.

If worry for them returns, lift them back

up to God and release them again.

And again.

***

All your sons

will be taught by the Lord,

and great will be

your children’s peace.

The beginning of anxiety

is the end of faith,

and the beginning of true faith

is the end of anxiety.
