Monday Mindset: SURRENDERING the 'How' to Take the Next Right Step

In life, often we get stuck trying to figure out the "how"?

How will this work out?
How will I get there?
How will this happen?
How will I know what to do next?

We spend so much time searching for answers that we sometimes forget to take the first step.

The book title ‘Intention Into Action’ by Avery Crumrine (one of our wonderful podcast guests) says it all! ACTION IS THE SECRET!

As Rumi says: "As you start to walk on the way, the way appears."

The practice of SURRENDER reminds us that we only need to SURRENDER the outcome of the FIRST step, to Him.

In fact, faith often asks us to make moves BEFORE any part of the path is even visible.

SURRENDERING the "how" does not mean we stop planning, preparing, or showing up. It simply means we stop believing that we need to have everything figured out before we begin.

What if today you trusted Him with the details?

What if you focused on the next right step instead of the entire journey?

What if you believed that He is already working in ways you cannot yet see?

Let’s start by taking ONE STEP forward, with Him.

Saying ONE prayer — allow prayer to be your first step.
THEN, have ONE conversation.
Make ONE call.
Complete ONE task on the project.

With Him, all things are possible.

From the knee, with grateful heart, love and prayers,
