Key Verse:

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”

— Isaiah 26:3

Rooted Truth:

Peace isn’t found in control—it’s found in surrendering trust to the One who holds it all.

Faith Story:

Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch Christian who helped hide Jews during the Holocaust, was eventually imprisoned in a concentration camp. After enduring incredible suffering, she still clung to her Savior. She later wrote:

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”

Corrie’s peace came not from her surroundings, but from the deep-rooted trust she had in her Father. Surrender wasn’t weakness—it was strength through faith. Her life reminds us that peace comes when we stop trying to steer the ship and trust the One who commands the wind and waves.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Proverbs 3:5–6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and he will make straight your paths.”

Psalm 37:5–7 – “Commit your way to the Lord… Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.”

Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing…”

Daily Practice:

Name one area where you’ve been trying to stay in control. Write it down and pray: “Lord, I release this to You.” As you go through your day, return to that prayer each time anxiety creeps in.

Daily Prayer:

Father, help me to surrender what I cannot control. I want Your peace to guard my thoughts and calm my heart. Teach me to trust You more deeply with every step I take. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

What situation have you been holding onto instead of surrendering to God?

How has control robbed you of peace?

What would it look like to live fully surrendered today?
