Find a quiet area free from distraction.
And sit in a comfortable chair.
Close your eyes.
Let your hands hang down by your sides.
Or rest them comfortably in your lap.
Allow your feet to touch the floor.
Breathe in and out deeply.
As the air enters your lungs.
Feel your abdomen rising.
With each exhalation.
Release all muscle tension.
Negative energy and mental stress.
Exhale,
Anxiety worry.
Be here.
Emotional pain.
Stress.
And any anger.
Allow your body to go limp.
As you ease into a deep relaxation.
Now become aware of your feet.
Build a warm sensation.
Of your warm blood.
As it enters your feet.
And moves into your toes.
They may begin to tingle.
Continue to breathe slowly and deeply.
Feel that warm sensation in your feet.
As it moves slowly upward.
To your legs.
Your thighs.
Your abdomen.
And your chest.
And reaches your shoulders and arms.
Release the muscles.
In your shoulders and arms allowing your arms to fall.
Or lay limply in your lap.
Or to your side.
Continue to focus your awareness on your hands.
Begin to feel your blood flowing into your arms.
And into your fingertips.
They may feel heavy.
Now bring your awareness to your head.
Relax all the muscles in your face.
Around your eyes.
And your job.
Every fine line softens.
As you surrender all tension and worry.
Your body is deeply relaxed and comfortable.
Making this the perfect environment.
To meet God.
And enter into his presence.
It is in the quiet and stillness that communion with God takes place.
Now return your awareness back to your breathing.
Breathe in.
.
.
Breathe out.
As you listen to this guided meditation.
If your mind begins to wander off.
Quickly.
Redirect your attention back to your breathing.
And silently repeat the words.
Surrender.
It's not necessary for you to memorize everything that is said.
Just relax.
Breathe.
And get ready to receive.
Nord.
Today I come to you with a humble heart.
I come to you not as someone who knows all the answers.
But as someone who knows very little.
I come as a little child.
Lord,
I am tired of struggling and failing miserably.
Of trying to map out my course.
Only to end up in desert places.
I am tired of trying to figure it all out.
And ending up just where I started.
I am tired of following the blind.
And ending up.
In the same old ditch.
Lord,
Today I take the road of surrender.
Just like Jehoshaphat when he said,
Lord,
I don't know what to do.
But my eyes are upon you.
I give you the reins and trust you completely.
To pull me out of this dark and desolate place.
I release the need to involve myself.
In unproductive activity.
Instead,
I choose to seek you with all my heart.
I thank you,
Lord,
That you are always with me.
That you know my struggles and my fears as well as my weaknesses.
And it is in my weakness that you are made strong.
I praise you for lifting me out of my self-made pit.
And cause they may to fly high as the eagles.
Leaving every care.
Every heavy weight.
And every heavy burden below the clouds.
I rise above my circumstances I rise above my fears and worries.
I rise above my doubts.
And I rise above my pain and my burden.
And I leave them in your loving care.
I thank you for your divine intervention.
And for divine deliverance.
Lord,
You know what I need before I even ask.
You know the very desires of my heart.
You know the plans that you have for me.
To give me a hope and a future.
Today,
I align myself.
With your purpose and plan for my life.
And I turn away from every endeavor.
Every practice.
Every mindset.
And every relationship.
That leads me away from your very best for me.
I mix my hopes and dreams with faith in you and your words.
I ask you,
Lord,
To prosper me and cause me to reap your abundant rewards in every area of my life.
In my finances.
In my relationships.
In my hell.
And in all that I do that is worthy of you.
Where there is worry and stress,
I claim your peace that passes all understanding.
Where there is lack,
I claim prosperity,
Wealth,
And abundance.
Where there is strife.
I choose to become an instrument of your love and peace.
Where there is fear.
I walk by faith.
And acknowledge you as my refuge and strength.
And my present help in time of trouble.
I banish from my mind all thoughts of doubt and unbelief.
And I put my trust 100% in your love and faithfulness.
To see me through anything I am facing today.
I walk by faith and not by sight.
As an act of surrender,
I wait upon you.
I ask you to open my eyes so that I might see your hand guiding me.
Open my ears so that I may discern your voice speaking and giving me divine direction and instruction.
Open my heart.
So that through the power of the Holy Spirit I may abide in your presence in all grace,
Love,
And wisdom.
I am enamored with your love.
I seek to follow you moment by moment.
And to dwell in your presence.
As I perform every task before me today.
I surrender to your love,
Grace,
And magnificent power.
Now place whatever burden you have in God's hands and imagine yourself laying it upon God's altar.
I surrender to God.
All my fears and doubts.
I forgive myself for any decisions I've made in ignorance,
Seduction,
Or rebellion.
And I accept God's unconditional love and forgiveness now.
I hold,
Embrace,
And possess every promise of God that you have provided for me.
I offer you today all that I have.
My fish and two loaves.
And I ask you to bless it.
And cause it to multiply.
In a God-given and miraculous way.
Lord.
Sometimes I feel the need to jump ahead of you.
The need to act.
To do something.
And to do it quickly.
But today I choose to wait patiently on you.
For there is no urgency.
You are in control of everything under the sun.
When I am feeling overwhelmed and I just don't know what to do.
I choose to surrender.
And wait upon you.
When I feel the need to act.
But I'm vague in your direction.
I choose to surrender and wait upon you.
For those who wait upon the Lord will never be put to shame.
Though the lions may grow hungry and supper last.
Those who hope in you like no good thing.
I choose to surrender and wait upon you.
Instead of seeking an answer,
I choose to seek you.
I choose to seek first the kingdom of God.
And everything I need will be added unto me.
Add it from behind.
Add it without strife or struggle.
Added in love Lord,
I choose to surrender and wait patiently upon you.
For every good and perfect gift that you desire to bestow generously upon me,
Your child.
I surrender and wait with patience.
Until I inherit every promise.
Every hope.
And every dream you have planted in my heart.
When the music ends,
Spend some time in silence.
Giving God an opportunity to speak to your heart.
This concludes.
Surrender meditation.
