When you think of surrendering your life and future to the Lord Jesus Christ how does that make you feel? Excited? Afraid? Thrilled? If it makes you feel afraid ask yourself what you are afraid of. Are you afraid He may ask you to do something you are not qualified to do? Not to worry. He doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called. Are you afraid He will send you somewhere you don’t want to go, ask you to do something you don’t want to do?

“Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

— Philippians 4:13 (NLT)

Lord Jesus, we are only afraid when we trust ourselves rather than trusting You. Help us to trust You more. Amen.
