Verse from Romans

“所以弟兄们，我凭着神的仁慈劝你们，要把身体献上，作圣洁而蒙神悦纳的活祭；这是你们理所当然的事奉 。”
‭‭罗马书‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭

“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭

Every successful athlete has to trust the coach enough to do whatever the coach asks them to do for the good of the team.

We say to our Savior and Lord: “I trust You. Whatever You want me to do, I am willing.” Then He “transforms” us by renewing our minds to focus on the things that please Him.
It’s helpful to know that God will never call on us to do something for which He has not already equipped us. As Paul reminds us, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us” (v. 6).

Knowing that we can trust God with our lives, we can abandon ourselves to Him, strengthened by the knowledge that He created us and is helping us to make this effort in Him.

Heavenly Father,
no one deserves our sacrifice and dedication more than You.
Help us to realize the joy that comes from abandoning ourselves to You.
