Today I will let God work to make me better. I will surrender. Surrendering is very different from giving up. Giving up is a helpless, hurting feeling filled with fear and resignation. Surrender is a spiritual letting go, I place my life and health into gentler wiser hands than mine. Surrender is an act of trust and faith. Surrender is, in itself, restorative. It allows me to get out of my own way and let other forces work in my life.

There is something in sickness that breaks down the pride of manhood.  ~Charles Dickens
