Total Surrender

About this book

"He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul." - Psalm 23:2Some surrenders happen all at once. Most happen quietly - in small decisions, made again and again, in the places where no one is watching.Total Surrender is a journey through one hundred prayers arranged across ten movements of the surrendered life: the will, the self, control, fear, identity, time, plans, relationships, daily abiding, and the enjoyment of God's presence.Each of the hundred prayers follows a four-part rhythm: Scripture - to anchor your heart before you pray Reflection - to let the truth settle before you speak Prayer - a guided prayer to lead your own words Declaration - a statement of faith to speak aloud over your life This book was not written from a place of arrival. It was written from the road - from grief that would not leave, from loneliness that followed across an ocean, from seasons of depression and silence, from the long, slow choosing of God again and again when everything in life made it easier not to. Through every one of those seasons, the Holy Spirit was present - sustaining what there was no strength to sustain, interceding when there were no words left to pray.What these prayers hold is not theology from a distance. It is testimony worn into the shape of prayer.Total Surrender is for: New believers who said yes to Jesus and are wondering what comes next Mature Christians who sense there is more - more intimacy, more rest, more of the presence they read about in Psalms Anyone who is tired of carrying something they were never meant to carry alone Those who love God but feel far from Him and do not know how to close the distance You do not need to be ready to surrender everything before you begin. You only need to be willing to start.He is very good at receiving what we finally release.Blessing Nnodi is a pastoral counsellor and co-founder of Still Waters Support (stillwaterssupport.org), a faith-rooted platform providing 24/7 pastoral care.
