The past few weeks — err, months actually (!) have been super hectic, and I have found myself distraught at times over the “juggling act” that I have been doing lately. I’d forgotten how erratic routines and schedules can be with a baby at home, and to be completely honest with y’all, it’s been tough.
Add to that the need to care for a husband and three other kids, get work done, manage the household, homeschool (yes, we still homeschool the kids!), media ministry-related tasks, etcetera etcetera… you see where I’m headed, right? (Don’t even get me started on blogging tasks and responsibilities, folks! Plus blog backend/technical issues!)
So yes, I may seem like a broken record here sometimes but there are really moments when my doubts, fears, failures (and fear of failure), worries tend to get the better of me. Does this happen to you too?
Do you worry about your family?
Do you worry about your finances?
Do you worry that you don’t have enough faith? (See the irony in that?)
Do you worry, worry, worry?
Well, join me in saying, “Enough.”
Together, let’s declare this to Him — He who is far bigger than our worries, problems, doubts, fears:
“I surrender.”
And if you know this oldie but goodie, sing along with me, won’t you?
(Below are the complete lyrics of the song, in case you want to sing the full version 😉 ):
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
Refrain:
I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!
