Surrender Novena- Day 2
(From Jesus) Surrender to me does not mean to fret,
to be upset, or to lose hope,
nor does it mean offering to Me a worried prayer,
asking Me to follow you and change your worry into prayer.
It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous
and to desire to think about the consequences of anything.
It is like the confusion that children feel
when they ask their mother to see to their needs,
and then try to take care of those needs for themselves
so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way.
Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul,
to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in My care,
so that only I act; saying, "You take care of it".
(Repeat the following prayer 10 times.)
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
