surrender

I find myself not giving god all of me...Luke22:42 says not my will but yours be done.I need help in my daily life that God should be made clearer to me,us.I need to stop looking onto myslf and look up to god.I learned this weekend that I was searching for Gods gifts what he can give me instead of What I can do for him...And just loving him.Are any of you struggling with your relationship with the big man? This does have evry thing to do with parenting because our children learn by what they see not what they are told.We have to walk the walk and show them how to have relationship with our lord.God bless all

My husband and I just had this conversation this week! It seems so much harder now with a child to surrender all. This was a struggle for me admittedly before but now it seems hard to relinquish control... especially of my child. I hold tight to the fact that she is "mine" when really she is His. I think that it continues to be more difficult as she gets older and I want so desperately to protect her. But while it doesn't seem easier per say it does help me to see how God must look at us as we continuely strive for independence from Him and He sees the pain that lies in learning that we aren't there yet. It is a daily cross to lay down our lives and as our children grow and we have eyes watching our every move it will continue to be more and more difficult of a journey as we are refined.
