Episode Description:
Surrender might be the most challenging spiritual practice for believers today. In this powerful five-minute devotion, Reverend Ben Cooper guides us through a meditation on Luke 22:42, where Jesus prays, "Not my will, but yours be done, Father."

The struggle to surrender doesn't come from a wavering faith, but from living in a world that demands constant control. Like Jesus in Gethsemane, we're called to release our grip on life's steering wheel—at work, at home, within our families, and as the community of believers. This devotion acknowledges our exhaustion and limitations while offering a path to renewed strength through complete trust in God's sovereignty.

Biblical Foundation:
Luke 22:42 – "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."
This scripture is the heart of surrender—laying down our own plans to embrace God’s will fully. Reverend Ben reflects on the difficulty and depth of this act, reminding us that surrender requires courage, trust, and a heart yielded to God’s purposes.

Episode Highlights:

• Surrender is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines for believers today.
• Luke 22:42 as the model prayer of surrender from Jesus Himself.
• Releasing our grip on control in all areas of life.
• Finding renewed strength through trusting God’s sovereignty.
• Honesty about the struggle and cost of letting go.
• The invitation to rest in God’s arms and be transformed.
• Replacing fear with faith through surrender.
• How surrender positions us to witness God’s glory.
• Recognising exhaustion as a sign to yield control.
• A guided, step-by-step prayer for surrender.

Life Application:
Today, identify one area in your life where you’re still holding on tightly. Pray through Luke 22:42 and intentionally release that situation to God. Remember that surrender isn’t about weakness—it’s about trust. Write down how you feel before and after praying, and look for God’s hand moving in that area over the coming days.
