7 Days on Surrender and Trust

A week-long journey through what it means to hold nothing back from God: one passage and one essay each day.

7 days · about 10 minutes a day

A path winding up a mountain to a stone altar at sunrise, titled 7 Days on Surrender and Trust

Each day has three steps: read the passage, read the essay, and sit with one question. It takes about ten minutes. Tick off each day as you go; your progress is saved on this device.

Day 1: The Isaac in your hands

Read: Genesis 22:1–14

Then read: What Will You Do When God Asks for Your Isaac?

Reflect: What is so precious to me that I have never truly offered it back to God?

Day 2: Trust where you cannot see

Read: Proverbs 3:5–6

Then read: Trust God Beyond What You Can Understand

Reflect: Where am I waiting for an explanation before I obey?

Day 3: The voice you obey

Read: Matthew 4:1–11

Then read: The Voice You Obey Becomes the Master You Serve

Reflect: Which voice has been shaping my decisions this month?

Day 4: When God takes back what He gave

Read: Job 1:13–22

Then read: Will We Still Love God When He Takes Back What He Gave?

Reflect: Do I love God for His gifts, or for Himself?

Day 5: Choosing God and not turning back

Read: Ruth 1:6–18

Then read: Ruth: The Woman Who Chose God and Would Not Turn Back

Reflect: What would it cost me to say “thy God my God” without conditions?

Day 6: Rich toward God

Read: Luke 12:13–21

Then read: Rich Toward God

Reflect: By what measure have I been judging my own life?

Day 7: Not my will

Read: Matthew 26:36–46

Then read: The Prayer That Does Not Avail Much

Reflect: Can I bring God my honest request and still say, “not as I will, but as thou wilt”?
