Bottom Line

Prayer is about connecting with a God who wants to connect with us.

We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19

God loves us and wants to connect with us.

Jesus models for us a faithful response to God’s desire to connect with us.

Jesus surrenders important decisions into God’s loving care.

Jesus surrenders times of need into God’s loving care.

Jesus surrenders his identity into God’s loving care.

“Christian obedience should always be based on surrender to a person, not simply acceptance of an obligation. It is surrender to love, not submission to a duty.”
– David G. Benner, Surrender to Love
