DAY 15 —LIVING A LIFESTYLE OF COMPLETE SURRENDER AND ONGOING DEVOTION TO GOD.

Focus: Complete surrender of our daily plans to God.

Scripture: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." — Romans 12:1 (KJV)

Encouragement: An altar is a place of sacrifice. A "living sacrifice" means that every morning, we lay our desires, plans, and comforts on the altar and pick up God's will instead. True surrender is saying, "Lord, not my will, but Yours be done today." Give God total control of your calendar, your finances, and your relationships today.

Intercessory Prayer: Father, we present ourselves to You today as living sacrifices. We surrender our personal agendas, our dreams, and our comforts to Your holy will. Refine us, use us, and mold us into vessels that are fully fit for Your purposes. Let our lives be a sweet aroma of worship to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Spiritual Growth Reflection

• Journal Prompt: What specific control or expectation am I still holding onto tightly that I need to lay down on the altar?
• My Commitment: I commit to starting my day by physically opening my hands and praying, "Lord, take absolute control of my day."
