We can find STRENGTH  in SURRENDER.

There is radical power in surrender. Strength is found in letting go of a clenched fist, and emptying the weight you are holding onto

By surrendering, you release the burden of maintaining what you deem a perfect life should be, and free yourself of the load you carry on your shoulders.

Let go and let God.
