How do you surrender your will to God?

[YCGP]

I want to surrender my will to God. Is there a prayer I can pray for him to take over? How do I begin this change?

Thank you

To surrender your will to God is to subject yourself to Christ and his Church. Obey his commandments and participate in the sacraments.

Google "theosis". Learn its meaning and work towards it.

struggle to live the commandments, go to the sacraments frequently

The carnal mind is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Scripture is clear that in our flesh, we are imperfect and liable to sin; however, we are alive in our spirit, renewed on our inner man by the Holy Ghost, which delights in the law of God in our mind. We desire with all of our might to obey perfectly the will of God, and surrender to him, which is commendable. The Holy Spirit helps us in this regard by establishing that desire within us as well as watering that seed, so that it eventually grows to be greatly fruitful unto God.

All of that being said, we will not overcome sin and have that promise by God through Christ fulfilled in us until we die and go to be with the Lord, and then the subsequent resurrection. This reminds us of our constant dependence upon the grace and mercy of our God, which helps us to walk humbly before him.

Just P.U.S.H, which means, Pray Until Something Happens. Never fails.

Are you in contact with a priest regularly now? I would suggest talking to him, preferably in the context of confession, and also ask if he particularly recommends any reading for you.

There are so many writings that are helpful. It's something that needs to seep into our spirit. Though it may happen differently for different people at different times, so it's best I think to be in contact with someone who can help guide - and so much the better if you can receive Sacraments from that person.

Thank you for your replies. I will e-mail my priest now and ask him.

I am mostly concerned with making decisions. How can I decide what to do with my life?

I will PUSH, as that sounds like a great idea.

I just received an e-mail from my Priest and he is in the hospital right now. Please pray for him. His name is Father George Tolias.

Thank you.

Lord have mercy.

As a new member (about a year now) i will say this, pray often and when you do believe!
Try to live righteously, uphold the commandments, and when you sin, confess. Afer you confess and pray, work hard to not redo the same mistakes.

God bless.
