So, what must we surrender? Anxiety would be the natural starting place. I admit that takes a lot of letting go—and it takes all our life to begin to get there. In fact, we cannot get there at all—we are led, seduced, and drawn by the endless subterfuges of God. God, like a thief, steals our addictions from us. We can go back and work for justice, peace, and truth, but it will be a new self doing it—and, we hope, in a new and creative, win/win way.
