Recently my coach asked me if I was willing to surrender what I thought needed to happen. I immediately replied, “I would love to surrender.” And, before she spoke, I could feel the “But . . .” inside me.
My ego says, “If you surrender, you will die. You MUST fight for your life.” What it really means: I, the ego will “die,” take a back seat. I, the ego, must fight to stay in charge.
This no longer works for me. I am no longer willing to be a slave to my ego. So, I wrote a prayer to serve as a bit of a compass . . .
In the God Flow
I listen and follow,
Rather than plan and demand.
I stop searching my mind’s hard drive
And instead follow the God pulse.
When my heart and soul, body and mind align,
I know I am in the God flow.

Lovely, Anne! Control is an illusion, mostly. Surrendering feels difficult and it’s actually the most gentle way of being for my own peace.
Charrise, isn’t that so true – control is mostly an illusion and comes at such a high price. I love that you’ve noticed the connection between surrendering and peace. Thank you for sharing!
