Short spoken reflection by Betsy Guerra on Christian surrender: giving one’s life to God means permitting God to guide every step. Success is described as occurring at the "speed of surrender" — the sooner one yields outcome, will, and plans to God and obeys, the sooner one progresses. Surrender is characterized not as passive inaction but as guided action under divine direction.

Chapters

When you give your life to God, when you let him come in, you are giving him permission to guide every step of your way. And when you do that, you cannot fail. Your success happens at the speed of surrender. The sooner you give it to God and you ask for his guidance and obey, the sooner you'll get there. When you surrender, what you're surrendering is the outcome, the will, the plan. You're allowing God to guide you on what to do. So surrender is not in action, it's guiding guided action.
