The Surrender Prayer is the KEYSTONE prayer of a disciple of Jesus.
When we follow Jesus, we do what He said and do what He did. The surrender prayer was modeled and commanded by Jesus.
He commanded a surrendered life...
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? (Luke 9:23-25).
He modeled a surrendered life...
And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” (Luke 22:41-42)
