In this video Bible study designed for use with the I Give Up Study Guide, Grammy Award-winning recording artist and bestselling author Laura Story demonstrates the ironic joy found when we surrender to God and simply give up. Though surrender flies in the face of our instincts, it's never without benefit. A surrendered life includes the surprise of a full and satisfying existence where trust is reasonable, reconciliation is possible, and relationships can heal.
Most of us long to be in control—of our schedule, our relationships, and our future.
Newlywed Laura Story thought she had control over the great life ahead of her. After all, she followed Jesus and had a promising new job as a worship leader. Why would God not want to fulfill her dreams? But when Laura and her husband, Martin, faced a brain tumor, infertility, and a son’s birth defect, she realized she’d been looking for a happiness that comes from circumstances, rather than a deeper joy that comes from God. Again and again, Laura had to surrender her vision for her life so she could embrace God’s vision. And again and again she learned that even in the midst of shattered dreams, God’s plan brought greater joy than she could have imagined.
