Surrender And Stewardship: Aligning My Life with God’s Timing

My Prayer to God and Her Response

Q: How do I show up to work on time?

I’m transitioning out of this job and into the next. Traffic is getting longer. Help me show up on time, as I want to. Early, even. She (God) told me to surrender ALL, to surrender everything! Every minutiae. To surrender time to the Holy Father and the Divine Mother, the Creator of time. To surrender what I’m doing. To surrender each breath. To allow myself to go slow and be more gentle with myself because I’m doing a new thing.

And in the surrendering all, surrender ALL!

Every time I think about this word– all– it just gets bigger. So when I surrender ALL to God, God will continue to meet AAALL of my needs. God will continue to provide everything that I need. God will provide ALL!

Much like if someone were to write me a check for $1,000,000, if I never went to the bank to cash or deposit it, the gift is no good!

What I do with ALL God gives me is up to me! It’s up to me how I steward my time, my energy, my resources. So while I surrender ALL, I also need to accept ALL in return, too!

Four Way Prayer

I received some reflections, or what we call 4 way prayer. Two way prayer is God and I talking to each other, and 4 way prayer is me sharing my prayer with 3 other people who also hear from God, and them reflecting back to me what they heard.

Here’s what they said:

Accept what is. Go with the flow.

You are on a path to a new thing. Surrendering all is not “just”. It’s a new thing. What you surrender, God will provide. Accept. Simply accept!

The check won’t do any good if you don’t take it to the bank! Divine guidance without support or action yields me nothing.

How to Take the Check to the Bank

I want to accept what I want, when I want, how I want it! Which is why I’ve been late a lil bit recently—because I sometimes have refused to leave home before 5 o’clock because why should my commute take me more than an hour?! And yet, that’s not acceptance! I’ve been holding on to what used to be rather than embracing what is. It really sounds like a tantrum, doesn’t it?? I will fully accept what actually is (my commute ain’t what it once was), not what I want it to be (the commute that no longer is).

My commute on a good day takes about 55 minutes. It used to take only 45. Acceptance of this new commute time is leaving home by 4:45 to arrive at work ready to rock and roll by 6.

And I’d bet the $1,000,000 check that in these weeks to come as I end this season and transition to another, I’ll be on time, if not even early, to work.

And so I pray: Lord, as I step into this transition, teach me to steward well ALL You’ve given me—time, energy, and resources—with grace, divine wisdom, and faith. Help me surrender fully, trusting that You will guide me and my steps to show up as You intend, ready to serve and embrace the new. And just like that, it is so. It is allready (pun intended) done!
