Quotes on surrendering your whole life to God

The essence of abandonment to God lies in surrendering your will. The power that the feeling of abandonment has over your life will be completely dismantled by total surrender to God. This total surrender transforms into a deep desire when we understand God's character, which is permeated with complete holiness; therefore, we can trust Him.
