The Joy of Surrender unto Him

More about the book

The founder of the Mothers' Prayer movement discusses surrender and the joy it brings. Surrender requires sacrifices, whether of material possessions or spiritual life, which includes prayer, scripture reading, and participation in Mass. A key aspect is the belief in God's love. The expansion of the Mothers' Prayer movement worldwide reflects God's generosity towards those who surrender, bringing joy. At first glance, the movement may seem like a lobbying group trying to influence God for their children's sake. However, mothers genuinely desire to pray for their children, aware that God wants the best for them. Surrendering their children to God is central to their communal prayers and spiritual life. Veronica Williams shares the story of the movement's inception, its spread to various countries, and the love for mothers, including those from Russia. Veronica reflects on the challenges of surrender. Many fear losing control over their lives, yet often discover that what holds them back prevents their happiness. Through her own story, she illustrates how she found happiness through surrender and a close relationship with God. While happiness often depends on circumstances and others, joy stems from our relationship with the Lord and remains with us even in difficult times.
