How do you respond when you’re under pressure? Do you try to escape the stress by losing yourself in worldly distractions? Or maybe you seek to control the situation and, ultimately, find yourself in worst shape than you started in? The truth is, we do not have the capacity to control or escape life’s stressors, so God offers us a better solution: surrender. When Jesus was overwhelmed to the point of death on the eve of his crucifixion, he prayed. Jesus chose to trust in God’s plan and surrender to His will, praying, in faith, “Yet not as I will, but as you will.” In times of great stress, we should follow Jesus’ perfect example and remember that, though surrender is not easy, the One we are surrendering to is good.
