In giving up control of something, we have to say, “God, I’m okay if this happens the way I want it to, and I am okay if it doesn’t.” It doesn’t mean he always will do what we want, but he will a lot of times when we are surrendered. We have cast our care on him, as he has told us to do. We aren’t holding anything up as too important. This shows our confidence in God, and really in ourselves. We are confident that God loves us no matter what, and we are confident in ourselves in that we know we will be okay no matter what happens. In our minds, it is easy to come up with expectations of what we desire from other people. We can come up with beliefs that people should treat us a certain way. When they don’t, we get upset. But, we don’t get upset if we are surrendered. It makes it so that we aren’t too attached to what people think of us, or of what they might do for us or against us. And, if we don’t care, when people say things against us it will go in one ear and out the other. This is because we have our happiness in God, not people.
