Got this from Derek's blog.

Surrender is an act of prayer; and prayer, an act of surrender.

It is hard to pray because it is hard to surrender.

It is hard to surrender to God because we do not pray. He who prays well (not meaning eloquently, but in fact meaning the willingness to submit) surrenders well.

Likewise, he who surrenders well prays well.
A soul in true prayer leads to a soul in true surrender.
And a soul in true surrender nourishes a soul in true prayer.For a soul to be truly nourished, it must be a soul that is truly surrendered.

Such surrender is the ability to sleep the perfect sleep of faith. It is to be rested in the perfect rest of God.

Even amidst a restless world.

Prayer is the key to a surrendered life.

The discipline of such prayerful surrender nourishes the soul. Make time to pray.
