Series Surrender Letter 2 : "The Faith I Had to Choose Before I Felt It" - ENG VERS

Divine Insight

Can faith still live in a heart that doesn’t feel aligned?
Jesus asked to let the cup pass.
Job said, ‘Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.’
And here I am asking the same question.

Divine Insight:

Dear Father, I want You. I want to surrender. I want to be fully aligned with Your will. And yet… there’s a part of me that keeps pulling back. I’ve cried out,“Take this, God. It’s Yours.” But somehow I still feel the weight pressing on my chest. Is this surrender? Because if it is, it doesn’t feel holy—it feels heavy. I believe You see my fight. You see that I want to obey, even when every feeling inside resists. Can faith still live in a heart that doesn’t feel aligned? I remember Jesus in Gethsemane, whispering,“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done.”(Luke 22:42). I remember Peter, following You with fear and confusion. I remember Job saying,“Though You slay me, yet will I hope in You.” You promised:“I will give you a new heart… I will remove the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”(Ezekiel 36:26) So Father, here’s my honest prayer: Give me a heart that feels again but not just anything. A heart that feels You, even in silence. A heart that wants You, even in loss. A heart that chooses You, even when I want to reach for anything else. I don’t want performance. I don’t want spiritual theater. I want a faith that lives in the bones even when the feelings haven’t caught up. To choose You more than comfort. To trust You more than outcomes. Let this be worship. Amen.
