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".

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
